Fermentation sediments

[pran69]

I brew my brew 5 days back and now its fermenting, the yeast sediment have come at the bottom of the fermentor? Is it good is it bad?
How do I know yeast are still alive and doing their job ?temperature is 22-25 degrees centigrade

it's natural. it's not just yeast but also proteins and most likely vegetable matter from hops. do you have a hydrometer?

Nope no hydrometer and I'm planning to shift the fermentor into a refrigerator with a temperature control of 14-18 degrees ?

What type of beer is this? 25C is waaaaay too high for most yeasts. Especially lagers. I dont see much point in lowering the temperature now. All that could possibly do is cause the yeast to go dormant and not finish attenuating the beer. Any damage taste wise from the high ferment has alreayd been done
