Re: Issues with the process
Because I think it tastes better and it still attenuates fully
I have to wonder if you're overpitching. I had some experiences a while back where malt flavor suffered because of that. Could also explain why you have so much yeast in suspension.

If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Re: Issues with the process
yes, and from what I understand there is an increase in sulfur production caused by overpitching. I am curious, however, because Kunze specifies a much higher pitch rate. Perhaps the smaller scale allows yeast to stay in suspension longer therefore fermenting fast/healthy/flavorful fermentation can be done with lower pitch rates?
I will experiment a little with that. Thanks

Re: Issues with the process
I have a Kellerbier in primary right now using WLP 830 and it is a mad sulfur bomb right now. I pitched a solid quart of slurry from my previous batch and your comments make me wonder if that was an over pitch.

Re: Issues with the process
As Techbrau suggested trying a different yeast might be better then changing your fermenter etc. I've simply shortened my serving/lagering keg dip tubes by ~0.5in and lager at least 2 weeks before tapping the keg. Beer is always brilliantly clear (by 4 weeks) and I've never gotten autolysis from what yeast settles after spunding which is typically about 1/8in layer. I use 835 and 2206 depending on what's available.

Re: Issues with the process
Has anybody used WLP 860 (Helles) much with these processes? I used it once last year (pre-Low O2) on a Helles and it was great, but I'm curious how it performs with Low )2 practices.

Re: Issues with the process
Should work fine, it's augustiners yeast if I recall. Imperial yeast has the same strain, but in larger,cheaper packs, so that's what I use in rotation with 2206.

Re: Issues with the process
860 performed really well for me, just took a little longer to clear up than 835.
