white yeast float wont settle

[mathieulabelle]

hi, i made a oatmeal stout and it has been sitting in primary for 3 weeks. i make 1 gallons batches so i usually skip the secondary. but since the sediment floating in this one never settle, i moved it to a secondary and it is now cold crashing in the fridge. even though transferring to secondary reduced the amount of yeast float there is still some even after 2 days cold crashing. the beer taste ok and smell ok as well.
what you guys think would be the best to try ; isinglass or gelatin as i am not 100% sure it is yeast or protein.

3 photos are attached, the first one is the secondary carboy in the fridge and the 2 last one is what was left in the primary that i have poured in a jar since i tried not to suck the floating layer while transferring to secondary.

yeast used is safale s-04

I would just give it a few more days if you want that stuff gone. I usually cold condition for three days or more.

Honestly for a stout, I wouldn't sweat it at all. If you're in a hurry to bottle you could probably just bottle it now and anything left floating will settle in the bottle. But that's me, I don't mind a little yeast at the bottom of my stouts.

It looks fine to me. Just rack and try to leave as much of that floating stuff as possible behind.

For future reference: If you have it, I've found that gelatin removes the white floaters within a few hours. It did in my stout and my centennial blonde.

thank i ll take note of that, i have noticed that those white floaters have a hard time settling down every time i play around with chocolate stout.
