Dumb question about my first bitter kit

[fliski]

Hey guys, Im just over a week through my first dark bitter kit (Norfolk NOG) which is my second kit overall.

Basically, it seems like the sediment is all at the top- It has bitties which I guess are yeast casings floating at the top (small brown flakes). Its at the right gravity to bottle. Am I dumb or should I syphon this from the bottom or something?

I can take some pictures if this makes no sense to you guys.

Pretty confused right now lol

I'd let it set undisturbed for another week to be honest before bottling it, hopefully everything will have dropped to the bottom by then

Sounds about right... have patience, things should settle down to the bottom...

Hey guys, so I let it settle for a week. No change at all. I put some finings in and 4 days later it still looks the same.

Am I supposed to syphon from the bottom? The bitties seem to be floating near the top

Take some pics. It sounds like the normal yeast head from your description, but if it's still floating at the top after a week, it may be something else.

Someone will surely have a better reply once they've seen it :)

I have a valve that sits on the end of my syphon tube which means I shove it to the bottom of the fv and it takes the liquid from about one cm above the sediment. I end up with no floating particles from the top and no sediment from the bottom, if I'm careful...
