Hey guys,
I'm planning to brew a Bavarian Hefeweizen this weekend, and been researching on how to get banana flavors. I keep hearing that in order to get that, you need to do a ferulic acid rest at 110 for 20 minutes before the mash at 153ish.
So if I'm doing a BiAB, would I do this by resting it at 110, and then keeping the bag in while it's heating to 153? or would I take the bag out first?
I know it might be a dumb question, but I keep hearing that if you have the heating element on (I'm using an electric stove btw), you can scorch the bag. Is it safe to leave in while heating to 153?
Let me know, plan to brew this Saturday, thanks!
