I've noticed a few small white squiggly things a couple times in the past.
This has only been on the rare occasion when I've racked off a bunch of
sediment, into my secondary, then did some vigourous stirring to gas-off,
just prior to bottling. I determined it was plastic from my secondary. The
large plastic spoon I use could scrape off a tiny piece of plastic from the
side of the secondary if it hit it the right way.
