Is this normal for Nottingham?

[hxcmassacre]

Hello, last week i brewed up orfy's hob goblin extract and steep recipe. I never used nottingham yeast before and wondered if it was normal for it to grow around the rings of the glass carboy like this? I'm concerned because the yeast cake is a different color than the growth around the rings. I opened it up to smell it and everything smelled normal.

I'm not going to throw it out or anything, I was just curious if it looks like infected beer. This is about the 7th time I brewed anything so I'm still a newbie.

It looks ok to me!

Looks okay to me. I don't get to see that because I use buckets, but it looks perfect.

Using plastic buckets, mine is usually thicker than that. So yeah, looks perfectly normal.

It's fine. The white bubbles are from the yeast working, the brown is the break material from the wort; and generally the darker the beer, the darker the 'crud'.

It's normal.

I've got a batch going with Nottingham right now that looks very similar. No worries.

I have 4 same carboys as fermentors (don't use buckets). These ribs on sides actually increases yeast surface contact with the beer which is a great thing as far as I know for conditioning/lagering. Different strains "grab" on them differently, I see this almost every time, its normal

It's not normal. You should send it to me to dispose of.
