I'm just wondering about different amounts of sediment in their bottles depending on the strain of yeast used. When I have used notty on a batch the sediment in the bottle is very tight and is hardly disturbed by pouring, which is nice. When I use US-05, I always have to leave more of my beer in the bottle when I pour to avoid pouring in the yeast--those ounces add up! I know that there are differences in the flocculation characteristics of these yeasts. Do people do anything to compensate for this, or is this just how it is? For what it's worth, I leave my brews in primary for 4 weeks or so and then bottle. I'm not looking to open up that debate at all, I just thought that info would help. Thanks.
