Yeast Flocculation
Anyone know why some yeast strains drop out of solution sooner than others? I tried Windsor dried yeast with this batch, and it is done fermenting, but the yeast is refusing to drop. I am used to using Wyeast 1275, 1968(a fast "floccer" ) and Danstar Nottingham. All of these guys have decent drop times. I am not concerned about the quality of this batch or anything, just curious about why some stay suspended longer.
Don't Know
I don't know why, but they are all just a little different. Like people.
Even with the slow floc yeasts though, chilling it, or letting it sit where falling barometric pressure can affect it, will help the yeast to settle.
