Sorry to kind of attempt to hijack your thread, but I'm looking for a little hefe advice. I personally just started (last night) drinking a hefe I made a few weeks ago :cross: Could be better but hey I used one of the kits and for 5 gallons in the low $20's I can't complain. I enjoy the beer and so did my friend helped me kill some of it last night. I'd definitely play with some specialty grain next time.... now on to the point! I have a friend who is yeast sensitive. She really enjoys wheat beers (I think she could kill someone for an Oberon) but has problems with too many unfiltered brews. I don't ask too many details and I'm not her husband so I don't plan on it! I want her to be able to enjoy the beer when we all drink it though so what are my options.
1) Longer secondary? This would take out some yeast but not the most effective and I don't want my hefe or wit to not be fresh.
2) Can I filter this with something like a wine filter, using the sterile sized filter to remove the yeast? I'm assuming I can but am not too sure if this is done much, just looking for a little direction.
The thought of a having to filter my wheats is making me sad
I suppose I'd rather enjoy drinking with
all my friends having fun though.
Oh yeah I almost forgot to add the best part of my hefe story! Last night when I finally tapped into my first keg, I invited a good buddy over and well my keg has about 2 gallons left in it.... it was only he and I.... His visit lasted from 9:30-12:00. Beer was good but sadly the state we were in wasn't so sad! Darn brewers best kit made me a good session beer but perhaps not enough kick!
