For those interested, I am brewing a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. I decided to split the five gallon batch into two and then pitch a different yeast into each. I pitched a fresh 1056 smack pack into one. I spent a little over a week prior stepping up two bottles' worth of dregs to a 1L starter. This was crashed, decanted and pitched into the other fermentor.
Fermentation started off at roughly the same time for both fermentors, and 10 days in, the SNPA still has little yeast rafts. The 1056 is clear. Not sure what this means, but it is neat to see.
