I recently brewed a true brew bavarian hefeweizen extract kit. Followed all instructions to the T, sanitized as I always do. The only thing I did was let it sit in primary for 4 weeks since I had to leave town and I figured that wouldn't really be an issue. It fermented 4 days at about 64-67 and then around 70 the rest of the time. (OG:1.048; FG: 1.010)

Now its been bottled for just over 2 weeks. I tasted one yesterday and its got a very distinct sour taste to it..Its not really citrusy but sour maybe even acidic (though im not quiete sure what acidic would taste like)
Im wondering if this is associated with the type of yeast I used (Fermentis WB-06 Hefeweizen Yeast) or something went bad/ I know I was clean when brewing and at all steps!!
I'd hate to have to empty out 5 gallons in the drain
