This might be a dumb question but I've never really seen it clarified.
I've been reading up on how a lot of people prefer to keep beer on the yeast cake as opposed to moving it to a secondary carboy if they aren't dry-hopping. Why is it so important to leave it on the cake? Isn't the yeast throughout the entire beer? If it wasn't then how would it continue to pressurize after bottling.
So where is it physically at? Is it throughout the beer and then on the bottom as well?
