Notes:
By the morning after I pitched the yeast, there was lots of fermentation activity, as with the previous times I've brewed a hefeweizen: wonder what gets things going so quickly with this style?
Tasted delicious on transfer to secondary, hope it's as good at kegging time.
And I can confirm that it was great at kegging, although I did have a little trouble getting the keg to seal. It seems to be fine now that it has been pumped full of CO2. I'm waiting a week to test it!
Finally, a sample, which was delicious. It needs a tiny bit more carbonation, but summer's here.
