I brewed my first BIAB today (5 gal/Cream Ale) and had a quick question.
It looks like there are solids in the fermenter. None of the extract kits I've done have done this before. Is there something wrong with the wort, or will it be good?
Here's a pic....

Any help is appreciated!
Wow nice photos!Brewing via all grain typically results in more protein coagulation in the boil kettle. Some of this is hot break (forms during heating). Some is cold break (for during chilling). Both are desirable if clear beer is the goal.
Hot Break prior to boiling of wort
Break material in fermentor following cooling and during transfer
Break material and yeast following completion of fermentation at racking to the keg.
It stays in the fermentor leaving clear beer
