I've tried Jamil's "ferment cool" approach with the WLP300 and got minimal banana.
I've fermented at the high end of the recommended range (72F) - still faint.
I've tried over-pitching by 3x the recommended slurry and also barely noticeable.
So, I'm going to try the "treat your yeast like a *****" approach, ie no starter, no aeration and ferment in the 77-80F range.
Anyone tried being nasty to your wheat yeast and got good results? I do worry that by not aerating the wort the FG will finish high and be sweet, in spite of the high temperature.
