Stuff floating on top? (pic)

[HappyWarrior]

I've been away for ten days...and this is supposed to be bottled tomorrow (it's been fermenting for three weeks).

There's something, likely yeast, still floating on top.

Is this a dead loss?

that looks good to me! cold crash and bottle as planned

 

[kev211]

Ill say this so somebody else doesnt have to... Yes, its a total loss. Better package it up and send it to me.

Nah, looks great to me. Those are just yeasties floatin around. If you want to make them disappear then cold crash it, but they arent hurting anything

Totes normal. Bottle as planned (as long as your gravity is steady).

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

I would NOT be tossing that.Looks normal to me

 

[HappyWarrior]

Phew, good! Thanks guys.

I can't cold crash in bulk as my tiny tiny tiny tiny apartment fridge would need to enlarge itseld three-fold to fit the carboy.

Can I just bottle and then cold crash in the bottles when carbonation is complete?

that stuff will fall out in the bottle after you have carbed them. That looks yummy!

Glad it looks good. My all-grain confidence is pretty low

.....but there's no support group!

Better to have a second opinion. I'll pay shipping to Kev, and myself.

Most of that will not make it to the bottling bucket. It will end up on the trub after you siphon. Just bottle it, condition for 3 weeks or longer at about 70 degrees, chill one to test. If done start enjoying them.

You should be so lucky.

I kid I kid

But seriously. I couldnt think of a better support group than a bunch of alchies

Looks like C02 bubbles to me..could be yeast. Either way, it looks totally normal.

Speak for yourself *hic*. I'm just a beer nerd with no willpower

Like others have said, cold crash and it will sink to the bottom.

But that's really not necessary, you can just rack to your bottling bucket and you should be fine.
