hey Bandit,
What do you think of the results from that CV yeast?

The brew I made is blooming good - it's the one i started this thread with and it's right up my street. i definitely reckon the CV yeast has brought out the hoppy flavour a great deal but the aroma seems to have taken a step back after a few weeks.

I've done a similar brew with nottingham yeast and the BIG aroma that the CV yeast gave me to start with is absent and i've only just racked it off...

Mine went from 1.040 to 1.007 so 82% I must agree that flocculation is not a phrase that this yeast uses often. I racked to a cornie with Aux finnings and then a day later added isinglass. 1 week later I transferred again by co2 pressure to a new cornie. There was a lot of sediment at the bottom of the cornie. More Isinglass added with 50g of sucrose powder, charged the next day to 13 PSI and I have left it alone. That was a few days ago so I had better go and pull a pint.
