Thanks for the replyYou can brew a wheat beer with T58 but I don't think it will have the same flavor profile as a Hefeweizen. It may turn out as more of a witbier.
But you can definitely ferment a wheat beer with T58. Be forewarned that T58 is a pretty violent fermenter and liable to make a mess of a wheat beer if you do not use a blow off tube.
I gotta look that upCan you get Lallemand Munich Classic?
This was what I was about to say. Ferment T58 around 25-26°C and you'll get a fair bit of banana esters thrown, though as mentioned it does fade over time.If fermented warm (25°C) T-58 does give a lot of banana in my experience, but it doesn't stay for long, after a month or so it is gone from the beer.

I've used both, I usually use some pet bottles too to have some idea of how much pressure is inside the bottlesThe bottles have become rigid? Must be using PET bottles then.
Properly carbed may take days...... I've never used plastic PET bottles to condition in, maybe some1 else will chime in on that one.
Glass bottles scarce there?
That is very much trueA bit of advice Never dump a beer out without tasting the uncarbonated green beer 1st.
A bad beer ferment will never kill you -just a sip and you know it's bad, THEN dump.
It tastes reasonable, carb it and age it, maybe age a long time (if it's not a wheat beer that will lose it's desirable esters, that is)
Wheat beers are traditionally consumed young, so by the time the banana goes, it's already past it's prime!
I usually use two small ones - first and last. Confirms that the priming sugar was adequately mixed in.It is always a good idea to include one plastic bottle with all the glass to serve as a carbonation indicator.
