hahaha well i've got plenty to go around. :tank:

Han Solo reference i hope? lol

tried my hefeweizen from NB after a week of bottle conditioning and holy crap! freaking amazing. had a co-worker say it was better than any hefe he has ever tried (although i don't think he has had any German hefes, only American lol) and the Tiger Tank Altbier was amazing as well...

cool thanks!!

Holidays took a toll on my $$$... finally ordered 48 12oz bottles from NB and getting them Wednesday which will be week # 4 in the primary. Is 4 weeks fine? I'd assume so but haven't really seen much info on Hefe's and fermenting lol

way to go!! :D

HOLY COW!!!! so my last day at the office b4 christmas break, gave a few of the Tiger Tank Altbier's to some co-workers. Well i had one left so i decided to stick it in the fridge for a couple hours and see what it tastes like at its current state. now i bottled this last monday; only 4 days...

that's what i was hoping would be the answer lol i just wasn't positive. so just a normal siphon to bottling bucket and racking. thanks.

how much would you say you had? i know w/ like Hofbrau or Franziskaner or Weihenstephaner it seems like its about a quarter of an inch or so of yeast at the bottom.

still curious about the yeast being siphoned into bottle question..... o and btw the hefe looks freakin amazing. not only does it totally look like hefe but it smells like hefe. I CANNOT WAIT TIL THIS BATCH IS DONE!!!

after i bottled my Tiger Tank Altbier I was afraid that the bottles would not be consistant carbonation w/ all of them b/c i did not stir. but alas, my fears are diminished b/c of this thread! many thanks.

thank god i have some hefeweizen fermenting :D

Bottled my Tiger Tank Altbier on Monday and got a chance to brew my Hefeweizen from NB. Everything went flawless (just was a bit late to work lol) and i remembered to take an SG reading this time :) SG is 1.040 Can't wait to taste this batch!

o nice never would have thought of that. :D thanks

i soaked them in dishsoap water to get the initial crap off and to peel most of the labels off... i'll tell you, Sierra Nevada's labels are a PITA! then dunked the bottles in Star San solution b4 bottling. couldn't use some of my bottles b/c there was a bit of mold at the bottom and i even tried...

woohoo finally made it to bottling day and boy was it tiresome to clean old bottles (going to just buy new bottles for my next batch lol) boiled priming sugar according to instructions and dumped it in then started bottling :D gave it a taste as well and delicious, but a it seemed flat...

ok cool. i can't freakin wait! just hope all goes well in these last few steps.
