This is a fantastic yeast but it can be tricky since it is such a high flocculator.
Use your hydrometer to check the gravity. It is known to flocc out early. You can end up with an underattenuated beer if you rack before it is done.

A gentle swirl of the carboy to re-suspend the yeast will help to finish the beer off.

It's a great yeast in terms of flavor, but it can be a bit of a pain. Though, I love using it for my English bitters.
