Our banana hefeweizen is still hanging out in the carboy, and it looks pretty good. It should, considering that it's been there for three weeks... or has it been four? At any rate, it's been relaxing in the corner of the kitchen for a while. I could have bottled it by now.
If we had enough bottles.
We don't, however. Only about three dozen or so 12 ounce bottles. Even though this batch will have a bit smaller yield than the rest of our batches, that's probably ten to twelve bottles too few. Part of me is anxious to get it bottled, because every day it's in the secondary is a day longer before we can drink it. The rest of me is keenly aware that, within reason, the longer the beer sits there, the better the beer will be in the long run.
Of course, we can't brew anything else quite yet either, but I'm okay with that. Brewing alone is probably not quite as fun as brewing with friends. Though I have to say, the thought of having total control over a brew is tempting indeed.... Triple IPA, anyone?
