Cloudiness when opening

[sbond10]

Just tried one of my beers and its crystal clear when sitting still but when I opened it, it threw the yeast into suspension. Now this wouldn't normally be an issue but a case of these is going to my friends party and although I know theres nothing wrong with um. In fact the beers one of the best I've done. Is there anything that can be done to sort this partys in 4 weeks and I don't really wanna open bottles.

The facts
Sg 1.043
Fg1.012 finished slightly higher than expected 1.010
Yeast crossmyloof real ale (notts)
Priming sugar 80g over 21 litres
Fermented at 18 then crash chilled for 48hrs

Notty usually compacts well. I can only suggest that with the higher than expected FG they are over carbonated. Bit late I know as you have already bottled but Notty can finish as low as 1006. Try and make sure they are well chilled (6-8C) before serving as this will help.

I've not had this issue with Notty, except once when I used gelatin finings in the bottling bucket - I didn't realise at the time that this can de-stabilise the yeast deposit in a bottle (though of course it's fine in a cask or barrel).

Best to fine in the secondary. That way the gelatine and trapped yeast are left behind when transferring to the bottling bucket.

Yes. I don't use finings at all now if I intend to bottle - I do add them to the pressure barrel though.

How about opening them all to release the excess pressure, then recapping them?

Tedious, but might solve the immediate problem.

I think my only option is to suck it up and call it cloudly bitter and serve in pink cups-I think ive just started a new trend

[chris2012]

Could storing the bottles very close to 0C, cause the yeast to compact in the bottle, I've no idea if that'd work, just wondering what people think?

[sbond10]

Yea im wondering if basically putting them into lager type storage will help

Too late it's been around for a while now. Try a bottle of Youngs Special London Ale for an example.

Damn guess I'll have to go for flowery cups then

Just a quick update ive popped a spare bottle i had and it fobbed massiavly so yea theres an over carbonation issue.
So next plan is see how this open develops over next week after pressure release then chill the remainder down to zero and recap if the first one clears ok after its recapping

Just bare in mind that oxidation is also something to look out for. My best bet would also be chilling them very cold and serving them very carefully. Next batch I'd wait for the FG gets even lower.

Let us know what happens!

[sbond10]

Yea im thinking either

1)serve superchill ed
2)man up it tastes good just looks shit
3) recap and hope it works
4) admit I [censored] up and the batch is lost
