sedimentation problem

H

Hi all !

I have a problem with regarding to sedimentation of dry beer yeast after boiling and bottling process.  Sediments are going up and making turbid liquid (due to co2 bubbles) when I open the cap of bootles.
Is there any solution for this problem ?
And/Or :
Will liquid beer yeast (soluable at water) solve this problem ?  How can I use liquid beer yeast ?
 
If the bottles are "gushing" out when you open them, it may be a sign that the batch picked up an infection. 

How does the beer taste?  If taste is OK, then it's possible you bottled too quickly and the beer was still fermenting when you capped those bottles.  If it tastes poorly, then that is usually a sign of an infection. 

Regardless, it is possible that a weak bottle could explode from the high pressure.  Move the bottles to a cooler spot, and place them in a good box or something to contain the broken glass if one should break. 

Liquid or dry yeast could do this - it is not really the yeast type that caused the gushing.
 
Hi Maltlicker !

Thanks for your information.
Gushing or bubbling of beer upon opening the cap is a normal process even with commercial beers (due to co2). Whatever abnormal and problem, is turbidity of beer upon opening the cap due to sediments (mostly excess yeast sedimenting at the bottom of bottle) going up.
Taste is ok; turbid beer is a problem. How can we avoid sediments and/or resolve it ?

Gushing is not normal on any beer I drink. You may have over carbonated the beer, that may cause the issue. Sediment is normal in a bottle conditioned beer, how much is excess?

To help diagnose the problem. Please post your recipe, Original Gravity, Final gravity, fermentation information, temp's, etc.

Preston is right. It couple be a few things.  How long is fermentation and conditioning?  I bottled a belgian blonde (beer) two weeks ago that had been in the primary for 2 months. I got a little yeast in the bottling bucket, but it settles out in the bottle and with a carful pour, my beer is clear.

Most importantly, it tastes like a unibroue blond as I hoped.
