For the first two days of fermentation I got a lot of nice fermentation aromas, but didn't see any airlock activity. That's when I noticed my fermenter wasn't completely sealed.

After cursing a bit I closed it properly, and shortly after the airlock started going wild.

Now it's day nine so I decided to try to open it up and take a sample and here's what I found.

What do you think? Never seen anything like this, but it's also the first time I use s-05...
 
Phew. Yeah, looked yeasty to me as well. Don't remember them seeing them floating around so long before though. I'll check again next week. Thanks!
 
I brewed on Saturday and used the same yeast looks about the same! I too would stop pulling the lid off to look. Next time you brew use a rubber mallet to seat the lid.
