Thanks, appreciate it. I'm actually letting it sit another week cause I'm out of town. So it will be a 1-3-3 by the time it's all done. The floating mouse hasn't grown or disappeared since my original post. I'm guessing I'll just have to bottle around it. Thanks for the q's and advice...

Thanks... I will definitly take that into account while I watch it over the next week. Is it at all possible it could grow (with the yeast) over the next week while I watch it? What I'm trying to say is, if it grows at all, should I be worried nonetheless? Thanks for your input...

I've brewed a few batches, and this is my first time with a pumpkin beer. We are getting ready to bottle today, and I noticed something floating that I haven't noticed in my last few batches. I'm worried for the worst and was hoping I could get the expert advice from the forums. Should I be...
