Because it's judgement that defeats us.
After bottle conditioning, I put my bottles in the fridge and try to wait for them to clear before drinking. With some yeasts, the clearing process takes a long time. Too long. Recently, I pulled a bomber out of the fridge that had been in there a couple days, and I held it up to the light. I could see that the top third of the bottle was clear, but the bottom 2/3 had a cloud of suspended yeast. To get a better look at the cloud, I swirled it around a little. Then, I put the bottle back in the fridge.
That night I dreamed about the terrific beer that awaited if only it would clear. I had visions of a massive yeast cloud swirling, swirling. Then, the yeast were colliding with each other and sticking together and forming larger and heavier clumps that fell from the sky (sky? doesn't make sense, but this was a dream).
The next morning I checked the bottle that I had swirled, and it was completely clear. Huh.
