Floating trub?

[Plotmaster]

Hey all,

So today I decided to brew a recipe I've been tinkering with for a pina colada neipa

I'll not go too much into the recipe other than to say it involves dessicated coconut (no preservatives) and pineapple.

Normally I reduce trub/sediment in my fermenter by cold crashing/whirlpooling after the boil before racking to a fresh fermenter, leaving the sediment behind.

However.... With this brew all the sediment has risen to the top instead of sinking! Not too much of an issue as I can rack under the line of sediment, but does anyone know why this sediment has floated while the others all sink?

High oil content of the coconut?

High oil content of the coconut?

I had suspected the coconut might be the factor here, I've put fruit in my brews before but never coconut.

Would make a lot of sense esp as I used a protofloc tablet which might've caused the grain sediment to bind up with the coconut.

Either way I don't mind too much, I've taken 12 months to perfect my American IPA and this is my first stab at a NEIPA, I expect a fair few tweaks to the recipe before it's ready for sharing!
