We bottled the El Hefe last night after a short secondary period of just under two weeks (just long enough to allow any bigger particles to settle out.) Very nice hazy orange-gold color. As for mouthfeel, it seemed a little heavy but I am sure that will lessen after four to six weeks of bottle conditioning. Taste? Great. If only I had made this beer before summer.
Fifty-four 12oz. bottles (23 of them are Grolsch-style flip top bottles - seemed fitting for a hefeweizen). Also, we went ahead and labeled the bottles as well. A finishing gravity of 1.010 results in an ABV of around 4.7%. El Hefe!
