Quoting myself it seems ah he's just full of hot air

Using Bob's tactics for likes eh?

Ok it’s had time to condition and it’s not so bad. The yeast is by far the dominant smell and flavour, which is to be expected. I had no room in the fermentation chamber so it fermented with some big swings in temp as the weathers been nuts. Quite a lot of banana coming through. It’s drinkable, certainly better than throwing away the old ingredients.

Nice.

Another thing I’ve noticed having drank a few is the poor head retention cos of the lack of wheat. I know that’s nothing new or unsurprising but it makes a difference to experience it rather than just read about it.

Yeah I don't put a lot of effort into head retention cause I plan to drink it fast enough it doesn't matter. But flaked oats (Quaker quick oats) also are said to help with head retention.

I can confirm that. The few beers that I have made that have had adjuncts in (wheat and flaked oats) all hold a head better than anything I have made with straight malted barley. Apart from that last strong Belgian Ale. But that had a lot of carbonation and is special.
