Trub

[Zsbrewing]

This is my 3rd beer but 1st in a few years. My problem in the first two is that I've had a little trub or stuff floating in my beer that was complete, what's the best way to eliminate this?

When you bottle you will always have sediment in your bottles. To help clear it up you could try cold crashing or using Irish Moss or Whirlfloc in the boil.

I'm not sure how you drink your home brew but it is recommended to pour it out into a glass and leave the last 1/4" in the bottle to try and leave the mini yeast cake behind. If you drink it out of the bottles it will warm up and get shooken up.

If I am reading you correctly, you had a finished drinkable beer and it had trub in it.? So much that you can see it, beyond acceptable sediment limits.

My first thought is a process probelm, not letting it settle before transferring to next container.

Do you bottle or keg? Do you transfer everything from the kettle to the primary to the secondary/keg/bottling bucket?

Or was it clear going in the bottle, and funky coming out? Is it more than sediment? Can you provide a bit more information?

I bottle them, it's not a lot but if I poured the beer in a glass I could see some stuff floating in the beer, really small flakes

if you drink from the bottle, there will be sediment that gets shook up and into the beer, so I leave the bottom bit of beer in the bottle. but I've also found that if you open the bottle, and pour it into a glass in one smooth pour without "glugging" the bottle, you can pour the beer out and the little yeast cake stays behind in the bottom, because you didn't swirl the beer over it over and over or distrub it during the pour.
