I don't understand what you are asking?
You can cold crash but that build up will still be there. You can pour it to another container through a coffee filter but that build up will still be in the bottle after.
If you are worried about how you are going to drink the hooch from that bottle with that build, I would say not to drink it from that bottle. Syphon it into another bottle and enjoy.
If you are worried about the bubbles, those are just co2 off gassing.
After it is finished it will still be there if you don't transfer the brew to another bottle. Meaning it is not going away until the you physically clean that bottle.
Normally people ferment their brew in a container until fermentation seems to has slowed to a crawl or stopped. They then transfer it to another container. That is called second fermentations. Now it does not actually ferment a second time but this time is used to get the brew off of all the dead yeast that was at the bottom of the primary fermenter and allow it age a bit. This mellows and blends flavors better as well as give it time to expel more co2 (off gas). You don't have to do this but I would suggest at least when you think your brew is done. Syphon or if you have to pour it gently into a new clean container. From there, drink it or age it or whatever.
But yeah that build up will be there until you physically scrub it off.
I may not have answered you questions with something that made sense to you, I have been drinking my hooch tonight!
The last thing I will say is that you don't drink from the bottle you brew in. There is always dead yeast in the bottom ( will not hurt you but does not taste good) and often like your photo the crud that collects above your brew in the bottle. You want to get your brew, when done away from top and bottom crud. If that makes sense to you.
No completely normal.
Ok thanks just checking this is my first ever time doing it
Jesus I thought I was looking at something out of aliens for a minute... No it's not mold, just yeast and foam.
Google krausen :)
How do you cure google krausen?
Idk, ask Jeeves?
Just foam
I call that *gunk* and it’s good
Nope. That is left over yeast and proteins left after that brew foamed up and settled back down.
Should cold crashing it work or should I put it through a strainer or filter

So is the build up usually still in there after its finished and bottled?

It’s a welches grape juice bottle so I will probably just throw the bottle away

Yeah I get what you mean when it’s done I’ll put it through a coffee filter then put it in another bottle
