So I a m going to my hometown this weekend and I really wanted to share my beer (bavarian hefe) which is currently bottle conditioning. I tried it after tried it after 5 days conditioning knowing that it might still be flat but noticed that that wasn't the case. I noticed that although the beer has really good carbonation, it is still a bit sweet and probably could stand a bit more carbonation. It will be 3 days tomorrow since that happened, so it has been 8 days of conditioning now. Can I expect that the extra 3 days conditioning had any type of significant impact on my beer or will it still taste pretty much the same?
Can 3 days make a difference?

Hefe's are good fresh though I would expect it to change as it conditions. There's one way to know for sure, cheers!

It is likely that it has carbonated more... More carbonation means that the sweetness will be less perceivable. I would stick them in the fridge to help the beer to absorb the Co2 to this end. I think it will be ok.
Yeah.barely ok. 8 days is pushing it. I had a couple batches fully carbed in 10 & 11 days,but they were def better at 3-4 weeks. If you aren't leaving till morning,then get some in the fridge today sometime.
