Find a reputable retailer to purchase your barrels check the code dates. Feel the barrel before you buy is it cold or room temp. Ask was the hef barrel stored unside down.

Does the same hold true for American unfiltered wheats, then? I buy one called Boulevard Wheat, but all the liquor stores I get it from have to order, so when I get it, it's fresh from the distributor. I'm on my 4th or 5th keg, and they've all been good to me. I do know that with this beer there is not much sediment when you buy it bottled.
For hefe bottles, I usually pour most of the beer into a glass, then with about a half inch of beer remaining in the bottle, shake it to loosen all the sediment, then pour into glass, giving me the good stuff that was stuck to the bottom of the glass, and topping the beer off with a bit of head.
