Hi Brewers,
Can anyone tell me if Safale S04 English Ale yeast settles firm enough for bottle conditioned beer?
 
I've done it, you just end up losing a little bit of your beer because although most of it will stay on the bottom, there will still be some that will come with it as you start to pour near the bottom, or you tip the bottole back an forth (i.e. filling multiple glasses)
 
Ok thanks Oddball,
I normally use Safale Lager yeast and it settles real firm no problems with that one, the last beer I brewed i used Safale S04 but after 2 weeks in the the bottle its not firm at all. I always fill a few clear bottles so I can keep an eye on what is happening and  check the clarity but bit notice the yeast moving about.
