Hefeweizen aging

[dragonfire540]

Any thoughts on the proper amount of time to allow a Bavarian wheat ale age ? I have read that it does not like to age long but any thought on what "long" is?

So far it has been in primary for 4 days and secondary for 9 days and bottled for a little over a week normally for ale I let bottle condition for a good 30 days but wasn't sure about hefeweizen.
Any input?
Thanks

I have brewed ~ a dozen Heffeweizens, and I have sampled each after 7-10 days in bottle, and all have been good, & adequately carbed. I haven't the patience to wait 3+ weeks, and this style lends itself to early vs. late consumption. I usually put a bottle in the refrigerator for 24 hours (after a week in the bottle), then enjoy!
