What to do if the floaties don't fall...

[harebearva]

hi all. I've got a doppelbock lagering. It fermented for 2 weeks and has been lagering for 3 weeks now. I still have some dried Krausen floaties from the side of the fermenter still sitting on the surface. In the past they have usually fallen by now. I was curious if anyone has had floaties for multiple weeks. Also, what does one do if they're still there when it's time to bottle? Just curious. Thanks for any replies.

I've had wheat beers where the krausen doesn't fall at all.

Rack from underneath. In your case, ignore it. That is practically nothing. I wouldn't worry about that little bit making it into the bottling bucket and eventually the bottles. You won't notice it once it's there.

Very good. I may be a bit premature anyway, they may indeed fall after another 5 weeks lagering. Thanks for the info!
