I brewed 10 gallons of saison, split the wort into two clean and sanitized carboys, and fermented one with white labs saison III and the other with Gigayeast saison #1. Both fermented in the low 70s to completion, around 1.006 for one and 1.007 for the other. Both were bottled in October and have been kept at 55 degrees after 3 weeks at room temp to carbonate. The white labs version was a bit cloudy at first but is now very clear, while the Gigayeast version is extremely cloudy. Chilling them for weeks doesn't change anything, nor does allowing them to warm up. The taste differs between the two versions, but the Gigayeast one doesn't have any glaring off flavor, nor more carbonation, nor any acidity. Since the WL version is clear, it doesn't seem to be any issue with the recipe, the mash/boil process, or the water. I've used the Gigayeast saison #1 before and it has not done this with any previous batches (always floccs clear with time. Anyone have any idea what could be the cause?
