Last night, I racked my blonde ale to secondary and had a very nice yeast cake at the bottom of the bucket. I boiled probably close to a gallon of water, chilled it, mixed it in with the yeast and trub, and after an hour, poured the top 3/4 off into a pitcher. I chucked the rest, covered the pitcher, and put it in the fridge overnight.
I awoke to this: http://imgur.com/MZFRS
I've watched several videos on how to do this, so my understanding is that the light, translucent liquid in the top half of the pitcher is a combination of beer and water. However, I feel like the solid stuff at the bottom is supposed to have a line where the trub has sunk below the yeast. I see no such line. Can anyone please tell me which part I'm supposed to save and which part I'm supposed to toss?
Thanks!
