Stuff in the beer

[BoE]

Having bought the brew kit recently, I am working my way through different beer kits. As my second brew, I have just bottled a batch of real ale. (At the opposite end of the bitternes scale from the Lager.)

 

Unfortunately, in the last 15 bottles (of ~60), there is a dark residue whirling around the bottle. My best guess is that it is residue from the krausen, that has accidently falled into the brew. I may have knocked the fermenter around or something. It looks rather unappetizing, although I am guessing it will eventually fall to the bottom, once the yeast settles.

 

Two questions:

- Can I restart the process, filtering the beer, and then rebottle? (and should I then add new carbonation drops? I bottled yesterday.)

 

- Or can I just ignore it, and wait for the beer to settle down?

 

Batch number three is the dark ale, which is in the fermenter now. Looking good too.

If the brew has not been bottled long - weeks not months, just give it some more time in an upright position and see how it turns out.

Will do, thanks. - From the quick taste when bottling, this beer will probably not be stored for months [happy]
