White Spots in bottles

Hi guys, quick question: I just checked my latest beer, a belgian tripel. It's been in the bottle for 2 and a half weeks, and noticed some white floating spots that seem to be clinging to the glass.

I didn't notice these 2 days ago when I checked, so I think they're pretty new. If I spin the bottles, they drop to the bottom. I'm pretty sure they're yeast, but I thought I'd run it by the forums.

I have never had yeast float in which you have mentioned. Sound kinda of spooky. You have a valid concern.

I had some of these in an APA I just conditioned. it was like they werre holding to the side by static electricity or something.

the brew is fine though.

I also had the same thing on a batch a long time ago. I was concerned about it, but in the end the beer was fine. Wait and see.

It doesn't have an initial effect on the beer but don't hang on to it too long. I had the same thing that eventually formed a white ring at the neck area. I drank the whole batch (not in one sitting mind you) and never had any problems. I wouldn't sent this one to a competition though
