Hi, Is there any reason why with some brews the sedimentation sticks to the bottom of the bottle and you are able to pour a clear jug, and others, as soon as you move the bottle, the sedimentation starts to float up? It doesn't seem to compact as much.

Different yeasts have different flocculation properties. What yeasts are you using?
It was muntons ale yeast I think.
Same yeast between all beers? You should have similar things between beers then.

I guess the amount of insoluable proteins and amount of yeast that gets into the bottle play a part too.

Just keg, problem solved ;-)
Do you filter the beer before you keg it?
No it isnt the same yeast between all beer. This was the first time I used this one come to think of it. So ill go back to using fresh yeast I think.
That could be the problem, I haven't heard many good things about Munton's Gold yeast to be honest.

Every yeast is different, eg - wheat yeasts are generally low flocculaters, WY1056/WLP001/Safale US-05 is a medium-low flocculator, then you get some English yeasts like WLP002/WY1968 (and almost Safale SO4) that are high floccers, and will create a concrete like sediment.

It will also change with the age of the beer and how long it's been in the fridge etc.
Nope.

Lately I've been putting the fermenter in the serving fridge a few days before kegging to flocc out the worst of everything, then racking onto isinglass in the keg to drop the rest. Is nicely clear by about the fifth pint.
