Planning to brew a 10 gallon batch of Hefeweizen where the banana flavor is really pronounced. I plan to use 3068 as the yeast and I have read up on it a bit.
I know that warm fermentation temp is key to get those banana esters so I plan to ferment around 70.
I have also read that under-pitching and therefore stressing the yeast also helps promote banana. So my question is can I get away with one smack pack for 10 gallons of beer?
