First time with this yeast. Started it yesterday at 9am, came home after work it all looked normal. A nice mix with white bubbles on top. Then I woke up this morning at 6am and this is what I awoke to. To me this just looks like the yeast separated and should be fine but I wanted the all ok from the group before I pitch this in a couple days. Yeast was wyeast 1968 London ESB

 
Egg drop soup. I use that strain a LOT, and that is totally normal for that strain.

It's a heavy flocculator which, on one hand, leads to nice clear beer. On the other hand, it leads to funky looking starters. But it's nothing to worry about. Looks good to me.

Appreciate it!
