Just a thought,with safale so4 being so flocculent,is it possible that there wouldn,t be enough yeast left in suspension after racking off and secondary for aweek to carbonate a brew? <_<

there will still be enough.

just don't rack this yeast too early. I've had huge diacetyl probs with this.

The yeast you mention is pretty much a stable for me. I always use it in rehydrated form.

I usually brew for around 10 - 12 days, then rack for another 7-8 days. never had a problem with lack of carbonation. :beer:

I agree with timmy this yeast needs time to mellow, a month in secondary helps smooth out the flavours, at ambient temp.
It takes to long if its in the fridge cold conditioning

I have a bitter at 4.2% in the fridge and its been over a month and its still to rough to drink

As for carbing your brew i think it will be fine esp if its a low grav brew

cheers
