Batch #4 Bottling

I bottled my fourth batch today, a hefeweizen. It tasted pretty good, a little bit of banana flavor, but not as much as I expected. A little sweet too. The FG was spot on at about 1.012.

A note on the sanitation, I'm not sure if I used proper procedure, and don't know if it will mess up the beer at all. My hope is that since it is a hefe it will be ready before anything has a chance to contaminate it. I used Iodophor to sanitize for the first time, and I didn't realize that you couldn't reuse the solution that much. I also found somewhere telling me to not use hot water with it, which I did, but I didn't find anything telling me why not to use hot water, so I'm not sure.
