ive used a strain of yeast by wyeast 1007 german ale. i never harvest the yesast, i just repitch on old cake. this was the third generation and all of a sudden the yeast is taking much longer to settle. it is going but verrry slowly. the previous batches were much more flocullant.

That's a very non-flocculant strain anyway, so it's not surprising that harvesting a yeast cake would give you a problem by the third generation. Much of the active yeast remains suspended long after the beer is finished and kegged.
