One of my favorite things about a Hefeweizen is the flavor of the yeast. That isn't a problem when you can just swirl up the sediment at the bottom of a bottle and pour it in. However, I prefer to keg and within about a week, my Hefes pretty much fall to clear. I tried swirling the keg, but I think I've been slowly pulling the yeast off the bottom and don't have much left to speak of. Does anyone have any tips / tricks on how to keep the yeast "swimming" in the beer for longer?
 
I get half barrels of widmers hefe pretty frequently for work and i keep the keg upside-down in a walk in fridge until I need to tap it. That keeps the yeast in suspension pretty well. Just flip it over 30 minutes before you want a pint and then flip it back over when your done.
