I was flipping through one of my brewing books this morning and came across something interesting. In Dave Miller's Homebrewing Guide, I found the following note under a general Wiezen recipe:
"Note: For flavor stability in hefeweizen, filter out the weizen yeast, then add lager yeast at bottling along with the primings."
Anyone ever heard of/done this before? I actually have a hefe that is ready for bottling and wondering if this is worth a shot. I typically just siphon into the bottling bucket and prime. Is there a special technique I would need to filter out the yeast?
Thanks!
