I would be greatful for some advice on the following thoughts.
Is it possible to use a top cropping highly flocculent ale yeast in a unitank.
Firstly does enough yeast settle out in the cone to allow subsequent repitching?
Secondly, would letting the fermentation build a little pressure stop the fermentation head going too mental and overflowing internally and out the spout down the side of the tank through which the bubbles go through the water (technical name unknown!) (We have about 40-50% headspace in unitank)
Thirdly, when it comes too filtration there would still be a yeast head floating on the top of the beer, also if you add finings adjunct prior to filtration will this cause the yeast head to collapse?
I am a troubled young man..
Further thoughts,,
If this technique [Cone Located Evolutionary Variance Effective Results or CLEVER Technique for short] is successful what are your views on the subsequent repitchings? Do you think the yeast will become less top heavy as your reusing the yeast from the bottom, so will selectively taking that bottom crop alter the flocculation / flavour / fermentation times.
I would be interested in any comments on this issue.
thanks very much.
