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 som…
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.
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.
Do you filter the beer before you keg it?
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 ;-)
It was muntons ale yeast I think.
Different yeasts have different flocculation properties. What yeasts are you using?
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 mu…
+1 for both (and your whole spiel).
Thanks for the discussions. Its sounds like its a matter of personal choice then.
This one comes up every now & then. It ain't wot you got it's how you use it.
That's a bit of a random rant Tony! Hard case....
I use both. US-05 is my yeast of preference these days. I tried wlp001, Wy1056... and I dont spot the difference much. Case Swap Yakima Monster is the perfect example: the choice of yeast was a spli…
Umm, I would take liquid yeast over dried yeast every time. Yeast by nature is not dessicated. You will never get the same characteristics with a dry yeast then you would with a liquid yeast. Dry yeast is easy to transport and light weight. Ask your…
Yeah, it depends a lot on what you want?
English or Euro ale strains - can't beat liquid, SO4 and K97/T58 don't cut it IMO. Lager strains - liquid strains are the go too but the dry ones aren't too bad. Easy to pitch the right amount of yeast with…
Not neccessarily mate. US-05 is pretty hard to beat - and dealing with liquid yeast can be a real hassle.
Depends how fresh your 'fresh' yeast and dry yeast is.
If we're comparing the same strains and pitching rates then I'd go with the dry yeast.

- Hi Craig, yes I've used the Wyeast liquid yeasts before but I tend to only use them for styles where I think the dried yeasts aren't up to the job (e.g. hefe weizen & lagers). I still use dried yeast a lot, mainly US-05, for my ales where the hops & malt are gonna be the features of the beer, US-05 at 18c for two weeks will give a nice clean ferment and let you control the rest.
I bought my red chilli bin mash tun from Bunnings late last year for $45 and it's great for what I want. I also bought the brass fitting and associated washers, & nuts from Mitre10 (approx $15). I already had the other bits (tap, manifold, etc). I boil my wort in two 19L pots purchased from the warehouse for $20 each and I chill in the bath with ice water. I will be blogging my entire process over the next few weeks.
