Berliner weisse, age in carboy or in bottle?

[andyveedub]

I am brewing a berliner weisse this friday and I was planning on aging for 6 months to let it get tart. Can I do like 3 weeks in the carboy then bottle for 6 months? or will it age best in the carboy? Also, can I leave it on the yeast 6 months? that seems like a bad idea normally, but I was thinking since i'm using the WLP-630 berliner weisse blend maybe it would be ok?

Get it in the bottle and give it 6 months there. Trust me, the magic happens in the bottle. If you want a quick berliner weiss look for Chris Kennedy posts on the brewing network forums as he has done it in the brewpub setting but if you have 6 months of patience in you, do it in the bottle.
