Weird Cloud in Beer

[Lordsoth]

I recently brewed an American Pale Wheat Ale, everything went pretty good, I left it in primary for three weeks (with 4 day dry hopping), and bottle conditioned it for three weeks, the beers taste great and are carbonated perfectly. There is one thing bugging me though, some of my bottles have this weird cloud floating in them. Now granted this is a wheat beer and I used WLP300 so I expected a cloudiness to the beer, which is fine, but this strange cloudiness seems to be a separate entity within the beer, if that makes any sense. I tried to take a picture as best I could. Just wondering if you guys have any clue what is going on here...infection? BTW the beers with the strange cloud seem to taste and smell fine. Thanks for the help!

Looks like yeast got kicked up when you were pouring. Let the beers sit vertically for a while and when you are ready to drink pop it and SLOWLY tilt the bottle, pouring the beer in the glass leave about 1/2 to an inch of beer in the bottle.

+1 Yeast

After decanting, be sure to drink the yeast from the bottle. That way, any residual sugars in your stomach can be converted to alcohol.

Yep, looks like normal yeast to me. Believe me, if your beer is contaminated, you'll know. There's nothing subtle about it.

Cool, I'm not too worried about yeasties, particularly since this is a wheat beer. I just thought it was weird that it only showed up in some bottles and not others. I must just pour those a little bit more aggressively. Thanks for the input.

If you don't like yeast nebulas, consider at least racking the primary to a bottling bucket. You're less likely to get the sediment, and if you do, hopefully most of it will settle in your bucket before bottling. But I tend to put in a secondary and cold crash: if your beer is colder, the sediment is going to stay nice and compact on the bottom.

I did rack to a bottling bucket for priming/bottling purposes, although I didn't let it rest at all, I just poured the sugar water into the bucket then racked the beer on top, then bottled right away.

PS
I dunno if this beer actually qualifies as an American Pale Wheat ale, it is more of a Germen Hefe with an American hop schedule. I think it turned out great, though!

Definitely the virgin mary. Don't drink that glass! Sell it on Ebay!!!!
