Default Something is wrong?

Hi,

So I have brewed beer in the past and just got back. I made a batch yesterday, and it just looks strange today. Am I losing my mind or does something look completely wrong with this batch? I sanitized, cooled, pitched yeast. Any feedback is welcome.

Looks like a krausen ring up top and good break material on the bottom. I see no problems.

You upgrade your equipment at all? I noticed I got a ton more trub when I started getting a better cold break from our wort chiller than when I was just dropping the pot into an ice bath. Yours looks just like the porter I got going right now, looks delicious.

I got some new carboys but that's about it. I am going to build a wort chiller before my next batch. I am going a little outside the norm and throwing this batch inside of a sankey keg with a kegman kit. Hopefully all goes well.

Looks fine...Krauzen on top, some break matter and flocculated yeast clinging to the lower bands of the carboy as it's settling out.

Perfectly normal.
