I'm sort of perplexed. Maybe someone here can shed some light.
So these two carboys are the same beer (Blonde Ale: OG 1.052 80% 2-row 20% Flaked Corn) all done at one time with a keggle system. I chilled and split the wort into these 2 carboys and pitched yeast at the same time with two different yeasts. The one on the left appears darker because it's all cleared out (WLP039 East Midlands). In fact it's almost perfectly clear already. The one on the middle-right was done with WLP001 California Ale and it won't fall out. The WLP001 looks just like the Hefe on the far right. Yeast was pitched using a 1L starter both made with the same wort using a fresh viles on 1-6-13 and they have both been sitting in the same spot @ 68F since then. WLP039 was done and cleared in less than a week, as does WLP001 usually but this time it doesn't seem to be clearing. I understand that different yeasts make different beers but WLP001 is usually done by now. I'm gonna try to rack and crash but I normally don't see this in WLP001. Anyone know what might be causing this?
