What do you suppose this is?

Hydrometer sample pre fermentation.

Random floaters post fermentation.


I just bottled a cream ale and I noticed it was full of tiny floating specs that I’ve never noticed before. I usually leave my beer in the primary for three weeks but bottled this batch after 2 since I’m running low on homebrew. It was also much hazier post fermentation. I’m guessing it was suspended yeast or trub material that hadn’t settled out yet but I’m just guessing. Anyways, the sample I tasted seemed normal for flat beer. Essentially, I’m just curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

I will note that I used whirlfloc for the first time and I do not cold crash.

It doesn't look concerning.

The first picture is before fermentation? I have never seen wort pre-fermentation that clear.

Your guess is what I would say that it is.

I’m guessing the whirlfloc made it so clear. Everything quickly precipitated out of suspension.

Obviously not everything... Otherwise this thread would not have been created in the first place.

I would not be concerned with that. I've bottled and kegged plenty of times with particles in suspension. They should all drop out in time.

Some bottle conditioning did the trick. Seems the particles dropped out of suspension.
