In a still vessel the rate at which the particles come together is governed by the viscosity of the liquid, the temperature of the liquid, and I'm sure a bunch of other things.
When you rack to secondary the motion of the liquid causes these particles to come in contact with each other at much higher rate. This leads to faster flocculation and faster settling.
I think
With better planning you can use gyle to prime your kegs. I've done this with Weizens and was pleased with the results.the_Roqk said:Thanks BierMuncher!
I don't know what I'm thinking, maybe trying to save some CO2. But hell, why? I have 3 full 20# cylinders and might as well use them and save the corn sugar for bottling. Tomorrow I transfer, carb and wait.
Your patiences will be rewardedbut in the end, what we've always known. Patience pays
I found them to be barely drinkable. Too sweet, strange off flavors, etc. They sat in there for months not being poured.

So was it really the warm environment that benefited the beer or just more time?
