Why does my IPA have stuff floating in it?

The good: The beer has been bottle-conditioned. This yeast will settle to the bottom of the bottle but will become “floaters” when the beer is agitated or moved – like when you are pouring it or drinking it. It’s not bad and doesn’t affect the flavor.

What’s the stuff floating in my beer?

Sediment is yeast and protein particles from the brewing process. That could come from two things: a brewery choosing not to filter or pasteurize its beer before kegging or bottling, therefore leaving sediment in the final product, or it can come from bottle conditioning.

Why is there sediment in my IPA?

We occasionally get inquiries about the “lees” (sediment) that sometimes appears in IPA bottles. It is a combination of malt proteins, hop tannins & yeast, which occur naturally in a dry-hopped, unfiltered beer such as Smuttynose IPA.

Is it normal to have sediment in Blue Moon beer?

Our handcrafted Blue Moon beers are naturally unfiltered which allows some protein and yeast to remain suspended in the beer. What you are seeing is naturally occurring sediment of yeast, protein and fiber.

Why is there sediment in my homebrew?

The sediment occurs as a result of fermentation. It is the residue of yeast and proteins and maybe some hops. During the secondary fermentation round, the yeast has eaten the sugars, fermented and dropped to the bottom of the bottle.

Does space dust IPA have stuff floating in it?

What is floating around up there? Well to the last question, we know that there is a lot of debris, large and small, floating through the abyss. Some would also call this space dust, some of which is visible from a comet’s tail.

How long does it take Blue Moon to expire?

Properly stored, unopened beer will generally stay at best quality for about 4 to 6 months when stored at room temperature, although it will usually remain safe to use after that.

Does Blue Moon beer have an expiration date?

The answer, as with most things in life, is: it depends. Beer typically lasts for six to nine months past the expiration date on its label. If the beer is refrigerated, it can last up to two years beyond the expiration date.

Does beer still have yeast in it?

Yeast is one of the four main ingredients in beer. Without yeast, the fermentation process could not take place, and beer would not contain alcohol. Very few beers retain any yeast once served, most breweries filter the yeast out before bottling. Any yeast that is (intentionally) left in the beer, is called sediment.
