Default Does this look strange?

I opened my fermentor tonight and it looks a bit strange.

Normally my yeast line is a lot higher on the bucket, and it's a little chunky on the top. Any thoughts would be great. I'm confused whether it's infected and I should pour it out, or if I should continue in the process.

Looks good! Sometimes you don't get a huge krausen line, but it's definitely there. It's absolutely fine.

Doesnt look bad to me for 10 days, it probably has receded. Personally I'd taste a sample.

Exactly. Sanitize that wine thief and have at it. What are you afraid of?

Tasted fine. Thanks for the encouragement. It's my 6th batch, and none of them had looked this way.
