WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

I've brewed this several times with good results. Pay attention to fermentation temps ... cooler temps bring out more of the spice flavor and warmer temps bring out more of the banana flavor. One of my favorite Hefeweizen beers is Tabernash Weiss which is on the spicy side, so I ferment at cooler temps.
