I opened up my secondary to rack to my keg and there were these white flakes floating on top of my IPA! I dry hopped with pellet hops for about a month and didn't notice this prior to dry hopping. It tastes, smells, and looks clear. Is there anything to worry about?

Ok ok - one of the reasons people began drinking fermented beverages is because it made the water safe to drink, from bad icky things like the "b" word.
Can I use the p* word?
