So, after a rough nite of brewing, I am ready to pitch yeast, and my wyeast is chunky.....It looks as if it has chunks of floaties....What the heck is that?
I am really having a bad time of things...

Probably chunks of yeast, what wyeast number is it?

Hard to tell for sure, but sometimes the yeast will clump.
Did the pack swell? If so, you're OK.

Some yeasts are chunky, some are gloppy, some are watery...It really depends on the stain. Relax.

I'm not too overly stressed about it. I said wyeast..I ment white Labs. It is Dry English Ale # WLPP007. It just seems clumpy...I'm going to pitch shortly we shall see what happens tomorrow. If you hear a big boom it blew up.........

That one is super clumpy. It's a really good flocculator and will stick together like one big chunk in the tube sometimes, almost like a paste. Shake it up and make sure you rinse it out with some water to get it all out. It clears very well if you crash cool it before racking.

What kind of beer are you brewing?
I just used this yeast on my Munich SMaSH and it is highly floculent. I usually like WLP001 in my IPA's and DIPA's because it works so hard for me when I use it for big starters for my high gravity brews. I have no problems with it reaching 10% ABV. The WLP007 fermented very quickly within about 3 or 4 days. I was kegging after a week.
