Strange Floaties

[mack65]

I have a batch in secondary (Strong American Amber) right now and I was waiting for it to clear some more before I keg it. However, when looking at it just now I noticed some strange yellow floaties. It kind of looks like pollen.

I'm not sure the beer is contaminated, since I have surgical tech training and am a sanitation nazi. But, this is my 8th batch of beer and I've never noticed anything like this. I did smell the beer and it smells like good beer (with a bit of a sweet smell). So, I was wondering if the brewing Jedi here might know what this is.

To me it looks like bits of hops. My last IPA looked like that in primary after I dry hopped with my pellets.

I'm not sure what it could be, but I do know this: during fermentation, all sorts of weird and nasty looking things appear. 99% of the time I'll shrug the stuff off as normal gunk. I think I'd only ever worry if the beer smelled or tasted off, or if there was an obvious mold or something. I bet your beer is fine.

Looks like hops and maybe a bit of bubbling from co2 releasing from solution. Totally normal.

Those are yeast rafts, totally normal. Search for it if you dont believe me.
Yellow things are hop particles Im sure.

I agree, looks ok. Taste it.
