I just kegged my first Hefeweizen. Color and opacity seem spot on, but I can't seem to get rid of what appear to be large chunks of floating yeast. I'm not talking about cloudiness here. Definitely chunks.
I actually remember accidentially syphoning some of the chunks off of the yeast cake, which was a lot looser than other yeast cakes from the other beers I've done. I'm not sure if the loose yeast cake is a signature of the Hef yeast, but, in any event, does anyone know what the deal is with these "floaties" and whether I can expect them to go away? Very unappealing to look at.
For whatever it's worth, I used White Labs WLP 351 Bavarian Weizen Yeast.
