Bottle sediment color

[hoppybrewster]

Some of my brews have a blonde colored yeasty sediment that tends to stick to the bottle bottom. Then some have a brownish almost black sediment that is loose and wants to easily pour out. Please help.

The lighter color sediment are yeast my friend, along with some protein. The dark sediment could be a few things. Could be left behind grain or hops. Nothing to worry about!

I get the same thing, was also wondering why

My last batch of IIPA got an infusion of hop pellets that I just threw into the fermenter without a bag to contain them. This is the first time I have done this and this is the first time I have had the dark sediment in my bottles. I agree with astacey that the dark stuff is residual grain or hops.

Are you getting different colors in the same batch or are you saying the colors are different for different batches?

I had both in this batch. The dark stuff was loose in the dregs of my bottles.

I'm getting different colors on different batches. I'm not worried the beers still tastes good
