just popped the bottle there . . . it smelled ok.
there was major offensive taste, as in it wasnt too sour or anything.  what myself (and the missus) both tasted was a very slight bitter aftertaste. We also both thought that it might just need to mature a little.

Sounds grand. Give all the bottles a bit of a shake and it might drop down to the sediment

I was worried about nothing thank god! Those white floaters didn't harm it.
Poured a sample bottle this evening, just to check like, and this brew is fine.
Been bottled since dec 17th so it probably needs a bit more time but that's ok.

Don't forget best not to bottle in clear bottles and the ones you have keep fully covered from light.
It looks great, bring some in the 23rd !

I'm happy to say that I have no clear bottles in my ownership   :)

jaysis nothing gets passed you! I'd only renovated my shed today and put all my bottled brews and emptys on my new shelves out there, needless to say the majority were brown (a few green ones snuck in). That clear bottle is in a press in the kitchen and i had forgotten about it . . . until you just reminded me of it  :)

at least its nowhere near UV light anyway being tooked up in a kitchen press . . .
