After 10 days in my primary, I racked my Honey Blonde into my secondary. Now, 5 days later, there are large white pieces floating up and down in my secondary. They seem to be getting more numerous by the day.Is my beer trash?Is it sick? Should I just wait and see if they fall? HELP!!

Just yeast floaties. Sometimes when you rack it gets them all excited and they jump around for a while. They will eventually settle back down to the bottom.

They are big, like the size of pretzel salt. I thought yeast cell were micropscopic. I've just started brewing again after a 7yr hiatus. Its my first batch since 01, and maybe I'm just freaking out, like its my first baby! I appreciate any advice.
We told you it is yeast....When you racked you kicked some fermentation into action, plus there's co2 moving stuff around....if you open a pack of dry yeast (or bread yeast) the stuff is about the size of pretzel salt...You are fine...you just have an infection...of the brain. It's called n00bitus. If you need reassurance, go read some of my blogs.
Revvy, don't scare off the new guy with your gun packing licking wench.

I couldn't resist...I found it today, and knew it just begged to be used for something. I have another one too....Just begging for someone who needs to be told to use a hydrometer....

Hey Revvy,
