flocculation


Explanation:
22,800 hits in Google

inc: Yeast flocculation is an important process for the production of beer that causes the yeast to sediment to the bottom of the fermenter at the end of the fermentation. Thus, the yeast can be harvested from the bottom of the fermenter and used for the next fermentation, while the beer may be matured without the need of a centrifugation step.
