So i read in a wheat thread some ways of making it more bananary. One of the ways would be to underpitch the yeast, resulting in more banana flavour. What about ale yeasts, if you under pitch these how does it affect the taste? and by how much?
Reason i ask is i made a batch the other day and used a starter of a brit ale 2 yeast that i done probably 3-4 months previous. It took best part of 3 days to show signs of activity. This would sort of equate to underpitching and am wondering out of sheer curiosity if it would have change the flavour at all. Not worried about the beer at all, just how the little critters go about their work![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
