I was racking my Rasp Wheat from the primary to the secondary after 14 days, and noticed a large amount of granular thingies in it that had a slight gray/green tint to them, but it could have been my eyes playing tricks on me (i was drinking my 2nd Arrogant Bastard at the time:mug:). I hadn't noticed this before in any of my other brews. I tasted the sample i pulled for a gravity reading and it tasted ok so i am not terribly worried, i just want to make sure that my sanitation practices are up to snuff. has anyone else experienced this? i tried to take a pic but the color did not come through. I used WL heffe yeast and fermentation was at 64-66 room temp, don't have access to the full recipe at work.

thanks,
 
Suspended yeast. Or hop pellet residue. Not an infection.

actually now that i think about it i did use pellets for the first time in this one. so that does make sense.

Shavings from the rasp?

Nope, i used rasp extract and just added that to the secondary. the idea of it being hop pellet resedue makes sense to me, i just wasn't thinking of that.

thank you both for clearing up the worries of a rookie brewer,

i guess like the saying goes
