It's been two weeks since our failed tasting of the El Jefe hefeweizen. Since then, we moved the bottles up from the basement to the first floor where it's a couple degrees warmer. We also took each of the few remaining hefeweizen bottles and turned them upside down to mix up the sugar sitting on the bottom.
The result: we finally have some carbonation! Not a ton, but definitely more than the flat beer of two weeks ago. The sugary sweetness from two weeks ago was also pretty much gone and the result was actually a pretty drinkable beer. I'm not sure if any of the things we did fixed the problem, or if it was simply a matter of waiting longer for the yeast to get to work. Either way, it's exciting that our first batch of home brew produced something drinkable. :-)
