I tried a 22oz bottle of Bear Republic IPA tonight. Like all 22oz beers I drink I pour half into a glass, cork the bottle, finish my glass, and then pour the rest and drink. Nothing abnormal tonight until I poured the second glass; plunk, out comes a very dark gray on one side and brown on the other 1 ½ - 2 inches long by ¼ inch in diameter cylindrical worm or yeast chunk Im not very sure. Holding the glass up to the light and getting the magnifier effect it almost appeared to have what looked like little hairs all on the brown side but not on the dark gray. It broke up somewhat when I investigated with a spoon, into 3 or 4 pieces, but for the most part it held together fairly well.
I know the beer is bottle conditioned therefore yeast sediment is to be expected but this would be hands down the biggest chunk of yeast Ive ever seen in a bottle conditioned ale.
So yeast or worm?
By the way the first glass, before the worm, was very good. As far as the second I couldnt even try it, Im telling you it looked like a worm.
