Hi gang, this is my 10 th batch.

I've just transferred to my bottling bucket from the primary. It's an Imperial pale ale kit. It's been in the primary for less than 2 months. With some temps over 75 while stored. But the fermentation and about 2 to 3 more weeks of storage is within temp range.

The floaters are like a slick of a different color. Imagine oil floating in a puddle. Not solids that you could pick up or filter out. FG is right on the money and it tastes fine. I may have just overlooked these before. Or it could be a mold or something

I did not have my siphon in the trub. Well above actually. See pic

Thanks for a quick answer

If it taste good I wouldn't worry about it. Bottle that Bad Boy and let it prime and the flavors meld together.:mug:
 
It all sunk or dissolved before I started bottling. Probably just being paranoid.
Been a while since I bottled a batch.
 
It looks like yeast to me. Some strains tend to clump together and remain on the surface. I wouldn't worry.
