Another "Did I mess up" Thread

[Markstrom]

Currently making an apricot wheat. Primary fermentation seemed to be successful. Bubbling, krausen, etc. Autosiphoned from the primary to a secondary glass carboy. However, for the first time ever, I discovered a thick 2 inch layer of lightly colored runny dough. No other way to describe it really and no idea what is. Any thoughts? I obviously avoided this when transferring to the secondary. Will my final product be affected? Please help

Pictures? Did you add anything fermentable to the secondary?

Huh? Sorry for being dense, but it sounds like yeast to me, but maybe I'm missing something. Yes pictures would be helpful.

that was my thought when reading the original post as well.

Yes I'm thinking yeast as well, but I'm not positive. The remains looked nothing like my last batch. However, that was a much different brew using a much different type of yeast. Would have taken pics had I not realized last minute while dumping out the contents >.<

Also, I rehydrated the yeast before pitching if that helps any.

I wouldn't worry about it, you're description is how I would describe yeast.

take a sample if your beer, if it smells ok and tastes ok you're fine.

lol, this certainly wasn't my first brew....it just looked very off. wish i had pics


I won't worry about it. I tasted it and it definitely seemed fine.

Just breakin your chops. Some yeast cakes look different than others, thats all. As long as theres nothing slithering around in it, I wouldn't worry
