Good morning, all.

I have a question to throw out to y'all. I just finished bottling a batch of APA on Friday. After 13 days in a primary, I racked it to the bottling bucket and got ready to bottle. While doing this, I noticed several white bubbles rising to the surface of the green beer and bursting there. White, milky stuff came out and sunk down. It looked like a zit, sort of L. Maybe autolysis? What do you think?

Next time I'm racking it earlier, f'sure.

I have understood this to be yeast floating up when escaping gas attaches to them. The gas is CO2 in the trub, and I figure that it releases as the pressure lessens on it as the beer is emptied off. 13 days is in no way too long a time.
My first brew was a Primary only batch, and I went 14 days exactly. Mine acted the same way. In fact, I always see a little bubbling and debris movement when racking, whether it is from primary to secondary, or sec to bottle.

I wouldn't worry about it.

oh, cool. Glad to hear it. Thank you.

Second the RDWHAHB.

Wow, it's a ruined batch. Send it to me, and I'll take care of the cleanup.
Seriously, take notes, and if you got kids, that's science in action! Sounds like a happy brew...

Check back in with us about this batch in about 4-6 weeks. You likely will be singing a different tune then about your beer. (nectar of the gods?)

mwuuahahhahaa! this beer tastes so good! I'm so new that when it turns out good it just sorta seems like magic. Thanks for the advice guys.

I hope it'll keep feeling like magic, mate.

Cheers,
