Looks like snowflakes or Parmesan cheese, tbh. Not incredibly worried if it's a gusher infection (haven't had any go on me yet....*knock on wood*), no off-flavors/smells. I've regularly checked the bottles over the last month, and these things weren't there last week.

You can kind of see it here (couldn't get a good pic in-bottle):

I've had that before when I don't use a secondary - but that is more my technique than a comment on the use of secondaries, I'm a crappy siphoner and suck up too much trub - one batch ended up with a nasty gusher after several weeks in the bottle, I'm drinking another that so far seems fine (knock on wood).

For what it's worth, the floaters and settement in one that developed a gusher had a slight green hue to it. Don't know if that means anything....
