I will admit that I probably did something wrong in the process (see more below), but I just started fermenting the oddest wort I have ever seen. Letting the wort cool for about 30 minutes, when transferring to the fermenter, it looked gelatinous. While about half of it was more-or-less normal-looking liquid, the last gallon or so was an oozy, semi-liquid mass. Thinking that since I was in this deep, I might as well see where the rabbit hole goes, I tried to salvage the ooze by adding water (seems to have worked), but I have no idea what I'm dealing with here.
Not certain as to what happened, but I think it was likely the result of either:
This is the first time I am going from a recipe (as opposed to a kit), and it is an adventure.
Any ideas?

- adding 10 pellets of Irish moss (recipe called for 1 tsp.... I have no idea what the conversion is)
- leaving it to cool for a half hour
