Come across a problem I have yet to suffer before
I made a fake lager and I used CML US Pale yeast (I know not perhaps the ideal), fermentation went fine trying the beer at bottling time is fine, and I think if I were to draw some out of a bottle its nice..
However the yeast in the bottle hasn't compacted well its a bit loose and I seem to struggle to get the beer to pour without it going in which sadly ruins the flavour.
WHat do we reckon just leave them in the fridge for as long as possible a month or two and see if it packs down solidly?
I may give the Kolsh and a belgian strain a go but I am thinking of giving up CML yeast.. I have only had problems with them I have never had from any other yeast manufacturer
