This is going to sound crazy as hell, but I will risk it.

Do you think temp. has anything to do with the clearing process?
ie, the yeast dropping down?

I racked a couple of gallon jugs of cider, then last night it was a little nippley out so I turned on the heat.
I walked into the kitchen this morning and the "line" had not moved all night.
no problem, I am not looking for it to move.
BUT, I turned the heat off, and a few hours later, the "line" has moved.
at least an inch.

my question, did the temp have anything to do with it?
or, was it just time for it to settle a little?

told you it sounded crazy hypnotised.gif
 
If the temp falls below the minimum that the yeast will be active, they will fall out of suspension. People do that on purpose sometimes (called cold crashing) to clear cider quickly.
