I have just set up for primary fermentation by adding the kit, DME, Dextrose and some steeped crystal malt to 23 litres of water.
For some reason, after giving it a good stir and pitching the yeast, something has settled to a brown, cloudy, clumpy type substance at the bottom. It is very distinctive from what is at the top half of the fermenter. It is lighter colour than the wort. It looks like sick to be honest. I sanitised a long spoon to make sure that it wasn't undissolved adjuncts etc, and it isn't.
Is this normal? It formed literally about 10 minutes after pitching the yeast.
Cheers.
Rob
