FLoaty things in my bottles

[kenoglass]

So my third batch I decided to brew this . So I bottled it a little over 2 weeks ago and wanted to check carbing. So I went to place one in the fridge and saw these little particles sinking down to the bottom. I am sure its ok but wasnt sure what to think about it. I will see later tonight or tomorrow when the beer is nice and chilled if I got an infection or if its ok...

Maybe hop flakes or bits of yeast or other sediment that caught on the neck and dislodged when you moved it? Tough to say with no picture.

Here is a couple pics

Just below the surface of beer is the thingys. Also why is there so much condensation in there?

Leave it in the fridge for a couple days and see if it drops out. I've had hop chunks, yeast clumps, and even oak pieces fall out after a few days in the fridge.

What temperature are you conditioning the beer at?

It started off warm around 80 and has been cooler lately as the temps are dropping in our area. I tasted one last night after leaving it in the fridge for 12 hours and it tasted ok definitely not the same as when I bottled it, I hope maybe the other bottle I put in the fridge will taste better in a few days of leaving it in there. Alsio today marks week two of conditioning and I think I am gonna move them to the basement. It has carbed up but its not at a good carb yet I think.

yea, 3 weeks at 70 degrees is the rule of thumb for regular gravity beers. I'd leave them be for 3 weeks, at least, and keep them as close to 70 degrees as you can. Then put a tester beer in the fridge for a couple days and try it. A good way to get your mind off of them is to start on another batch.

The beer will taste different at first after bottling because you're restarting fermentation in the bottle to carbonate the beer. It needs 3 weeks to allow the yeast to fully carbonate the beer and to clean things up again. The last beer you drink will probably be the best out of the batch!
