Does yeast ever flocculate and rise to the top (floatation) or do the flocs always sediment? If they do float does this affect yeast harvesting and the concept of 'dropping bright"?
The anaerobic phase occurs just after you pitch your yeast. The yeast buds and multiples quickly before switching to the aerobic phase (fermentation). This is when the yeast converts the fermentable sugars you created during your mash to alcohol and CO2.
