so i cold crashed my hefeweizen last night and kegged late this morning...

just took a little sip (my curiosity was killing me!), and it is extremely yeasty!

i let 'er sit in the primary for a little over two weeks before kegging, and i used the standard white labs yeast amount (didn't add it to a yeast starter). on top of this, i was very careful with transferring it to the keg to not disturb the yeast bed. i didn't even touch the last 0.5 gallons of my primary fermenter.

any advice on how to get this yeasty beer to clear up a bit?
 
My recent hefe fermented for a month. I had to put a blow off tube on it twice. I finally bottled it at a month and it was still yeasty/sulfury. I suspect mine's going to need a month or two in the bottle to finish completely.

From what I've read here, hefe's can be long finishers.
