sediment floating

[nivaguk]

Hi all

I did a coopers stout just over 2 weeks ago with 500grams dark malt and 300 grams dextrose. I am looking to bottle in a week but I have just noticed what looks like malt flouting around still will this drop out if I cold crash for a week?

It's normal to have a bit of sediment in the fermenter. Cold crashing will help it drop, as will adding a bit of gelatin a couple days after cold crashing and a couple days before bottling.

I would not cold crash for a week. 24 to 36 hours should be sufficient.

The up & down swirling action of active fermentation stirs chunks of yeast,trub,etc off the bottom & they float for a time. Then settle out as fermentation dies down. Some of it is left over krausen as well. No worries.
