Notes

Start fermentation at 62-64, let rise to 66 for first few days, then let rise to 68-70 to finish off.

To get experimental, I’m going to take one gallon of this and make a Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Bourbon Weizenbock... infuse bourbon with cocoa nibs, banana (maybe, depends on how much flavor comes from yeast), PB2 peanut butter powder (trying to avoid oils from regular PB), half a vanilla bean, and maybe even a clove (again, depending on flavor from yeast), then add to one gallon jug for a couple weeks, or to taste at bottling.
