I made this short video of how to do the "spinning bowl" flocculation test:

Flocculation test

Thought this might be useful ...

[edit]
It shows the test at 10 minutes, 12 minutes and 14 minutes. At 12 minutes you can see that there is a very slight resistance to movement. The flocculation point was possibly actually reached about 30 seconds before the footage at 14 minutes - the bowl would still move given a gentle blow (rather than a nudge with a finger) at 13 minutes.

Very nice!  For a newb like me, that video answered a bunch of questions... like what kind of bowl to use, how much the initial flocculation would resist the bowl, how hard you spin and nudge it etcetera.  Thanks!
