noob question on slow carbonation / cider taste

[tig66208]

Ok, so, yeah, there's a lot of threads on this sort of topic, but just have to ask anyway.

I'm a bit annoyed at my hefeweizen batches I've brewed (strong belgain batches always come out fine for me).... anyway, I digress.

First hefe: the bottles that were good, were good! But in the same batch, not all bottles carbonated well. Some were perfect. The ones that were less carbonated (even after a month) tasted rather sweet, maybe even cider-y.

So I brewed another batch. Simple kit. LME + water + hops, ferment (Wyeast strand that is Weihenstephan), and bottle.

Same story. 3 weeks later, some carbonation, but not nearly enough, and really damn sweet. No other off tastes though.

Thoughts? Recommendations? At this point, I'm ready to just let it sit a few months and see what happens.

I agree, let it sit.

This was a good read. Check it out.

On my cider I had to let it sit a long ass time. Not only that, but the flavor tastes way better now that I let it sit in bottles for over 1 +1/2 months.
