Floaties!

[Darren1973]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and if one good thing has come out of this pandemic it's me learning to brew beer. I started with a couple of kits which turned out nice but wanted to expand it a bit more to all grain brewing. I've done 2 brews, one was a SMaSH brew with Maris Otter Extra Pale and Cascade hops which has turned out really nice and a Lemongrass Pale Ale which has also turned out very nice. The only thig is, I know you get sediment at the bottom but I'm also getting some floaties in the bottle that obviously transfer into the glass, I know it's not harmful, it just doesn't look good. Is there something that I may be doing wrong to cause this? I do BIAB brewing using an electrim mash tun and sparge bag. It's only a little thing but if I can correct it then great.

Give one a little shake then chill it to see what happens.

Welcome to the forum. It seems your bottling technique could do with a bit of refining. How are you getting the beer in the bottle? Are you using a syphon with a sediment trap?

 

[Darren1973]

I'm syphoning but without a sediment trap, just a racking cane or auto syphon, is that something I can purchase?

 

[MyQul]

Yes it fits on the end of a racking can. You can but them from wilko (comes as part of the complete racking cane set)

Wilko Syphon Pack | Wilko (see the little square looking thing on the end of the racking cane on the left)

It's called "unfiltered" and makes your beer 10% more valuable. Just saying. Don't forget to grow the beard.
