    Floaters on a Hazy IPA
    We have had some issues recently with floaters forming on packaged beer.
    Some quick googling seems to suggest these are a result of the interaction between polyphenols from hops and proteins from malts. 

    We use a large portion of oats and wheat on our Hazy IPAs, along with Pilsner malt and lightly centrifuge just before packaging. Dry Hop at around 10-12gr/L. 

    Have you had these issues? 
    Any tips on how to get rid of these for good?

    Escarpment has some articles on this in their knowledge base, they call it snowglobing and it has to do with yeast health. Stressed yeast altering the protein content.
    Also read somewhere but can not remember that centrifuging can be a problem as well.
