Yeast in neck of bottles

[BrebOelsB]

I'm new to these forums, and I am currently carbonating my second ever batch of beer. It is a pale ale (http://shop.greatfermentations.com/product/brewbq-pale-ale-extract-beer-kit/extract-beer-kits), and when first bottled I put them in my basement to carb up, however it was unseasonably cool so it was well under 70 degrees in my basement. So I moved them upstairs, and set the bottles upside down to redistribute the yeast to help jump start the carbonation. Well I forgot about them for a couple hours before I flipped them back, and now a few days later all of the bottlenecks have yeast sediment lining them (at least I assume its yeast). I refrigerated and opened one today to test it out, and it was actually very good and seemed about fully carbed (One week after bottling). So my question is should I do anything about this yeast lining the neck of the bottles, or just leave it as is since the one I tried out was good?

P.S. I know not to leave the bottles upside down like that again, and will just start carbonation in a better temp area and leave it alone, so please don't just reply telling me to do that.

You're fine, you can give them a little shake to re-suspend the yeast if you'd like, pop them in the fridge for a few days to cold crash and clear up. Or just don't worry about it drink up, nothing there that'll hurt you.

My only fear is shaking them up too much and causing them to become flat or something else. Is it possible to cause an issue from shaking too vigorously? I gently rolled one bottle around to try to loosen it up but it didn't work. My only concern is that the beer may be missing something due to the yeast stuck on the neck therefore not mixed in the beer. If the yeast being trapped there won't deprive the beer of anything necessary then I will just leave it as is.

you can't make them go flat by shaking because there is nowhere for the co2 to go but back into suspension as long as you don't open it immediately. Just like a can of soda pop. Shake the yeast off the neck and set the bottle down normally, the yeast will fall to the bottom just as if you never touched it.

Sometimes the ring around the top of the bottle is caused by a mini-krausen when the yeast does its thing to carb your beer. Either way, don't worry about it. It is only cosmetic at worst and by the time you pour it into a glass who cares?
