I just bottled my second batch of beer (a wheat beer). I had posted earlier about an issue with the yeast not completely settling and today on the 14th day it was still the same with a pretty prominent layer on the top which I had to sacrifice part of into the last bottle I filled. I also noticed today that the trub at the bottom of the fermenter was very "milky" in appearance which was different from my first batch of a pale ale. My two questions at this point would be if the milky colored trub could be seen as normal or if this could be an indication that something might have gone wrong coupled with the floating yeast issue? Also, would it be best practice to just scrap the last bottle with a high about of yeast "globs" or see if it settles and give it a go. I am trying to abide by the philosophy of RDWHAHB but I am just trying to avoid getting discouraged early in the game considering I also had a carbing problem with my first two bottles from my first batch (I will be cracking the next bottle to what I hope is a much better result tonight). Thanks in advance for any helpful info.
