German Brewing

Well, the maltase mash isn't that necessary. I like it de-facto but you can do a lot in wheat beer fermentation to influence flavour as well.

Cropping the yeast also has a big influence.

Top-crop for more banana flavour

Bottom harvest for more clove

Interesting, isn't it?

I'm quite happy with the ferric acid rest. I've tried the sugar trick during the maltase rest, but I'm not sure it can cleave sucrose, just maltose.
