White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
This yeast is used to produce the Oregon style American Hefeweizen. Unlike WLP300, this yeast produces a very slight amount of the banana and clove notes. It produces some sulfur, but is otherwise a clean fermenting yeast, which does not flocculate well,
Notes
Also added ~5 cups pureed bananas

Yeast Recommendation...

I would recommend using the WLP300, or a German Hef yeast of your choice. This would really bring out the banana taste, way more so than the American Hef yeast could.

I followed this for the most part. Used 2lbs sliced (not pureed) bananas in the secondary. Also added 2 tbs vanilla extract. Came close, but still not Young's. Friends and family couldn't tell the difference.
