Belgian Dubbel - Floating Particles

I am going to bottle my Belgian Dubbel this weekend.. It has been sitting in the primary fermenter for about 3 weeks now.

There seem to be some particles suspended in the carboy.. They are neither sinking nor floating, but just kind of sitting there...

I would of thought that this would of settled out on the bottom, but it doesnt seem like it has.. Should I be concerned about this when it comes time to bottling, or do you think it will sink once in the bottles?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Give it another week and bottle it...who needs clear beer.

I took some advice from other HBT'ers to lightly stir the beer and/or shake it, but the particles are still hanging there. Any other tips...

If you have the means to cold-crash, do it. That will encourage those particles to drop out of suspension. A week at the coldest temps you can manage.

Cool. I will give that a shot.. I'll set up a little swamp cooler in my basement and try to keep it as cold as I can for a week. Thanks fellow Pennsylvanian

EDIT: Actually, would a swamp cooler be good or would I need to go colder?

The closer you can get to freezing, the better it will work. I usually cold crash around 37°.

I actually have my kegerator still in my basement (where my beers are fermenting), so I will plug that in and put the carboy in there for a week. Luckily I didn't move it out on the patio yet for the summer.
