Floaters in my bottles

[ZmannR2]

What are these things? I see some sediment at the bottom and for the most part my bottles look pretty good but these guys I noticed were sucked up too when bottling, this was the worst one, the rest may have 1 or 2 floaters. I think they were yellow....so are these noms! or yucks?

Looks like you sucked up a lot of 'trub' when you bottled..Bits of grain more then likely..Pour it through a strainer into your glass when you go to drink it..

Does the beer taste good?

I just bottled them 3 days ago but the flat beer tastes damn good!

Then to hell with the floaters.

Good chance they will settle out. Maybe not. I get these occasionally. I'm not out to win contests so I don't worry about them.

All the Best,

as a home brewer who bottle conditions you will learn to drink beer with the odd floaty bits. enjoy.

I find that using a secondary significantly reduces debris like that, if not eliminates it altogether. Many will undoubtedly disagree with me, but I always recommend that new brewers try both ways (only primary vs using a secondary) and see what works best for you.

Those floaters will not harm you though, however they can sometimes provide nucleation points for Co2 to be released from solution when you pour them - i.e. a lot more foam than is desirable.

dont worry that's an unfiltered home brew. Drink enjoy

I syphoned my first run the other day into a second bucket then bottled it from that seemed to get rid of a lot of the larger sediment : /

If you can cold-crash your fermenter before transferring to your bottling bucket, they can be avoided. Probably.
