I'm bottling my hefeweizen next weekend, Is it necessary to rack it to a bottling bucket? There is a bit of a yeast cake at the bottom and I'm not sure if that represents dead or unhealthy yeast. If I bottle straight out of the fermenter some of that will end up in the bottle. Its a 3068 by the way.

How will you add carbonation sugar?
If you add straight to the bottle its ok
But if you add in bulk you will need to rack the beer on top of the sugar

I have some carbonation drops left, could use those.
As its a hefeweizen, I NEED yeast in the bottle, but is it the case that the good yeast is floating and the bad yeast has already flocculated? It's my first hefeweizen so I don't really know.
