Is this yeast normal? Ive never seen it like this before

[Kmcogar]

I used a yeast starter from some yeast I washed. Its only been 5 days fermenting. It's still kicking pretty hard. But it doesn't look right.

Check it out and let me know if you have had yeast like this before.










Sorry its kinda hard to see in my milk crate.

I've seen that before. Seems to be yeast that stuck to the sides on its way to the bottom. Some of it eventually settled to the bottom for me, some was still there when I bottled. Racked away from it no problem and the beer was great.

Agreed, totally normal. It's yeast getting caught on the sides of the carboy on it's way down. It'll settle out in time, and if it doesn't it's still not a concern.

Yeah that's fine, I sometimes gently rock the carboy to get this to fall to the bottom. Although in reality it would probably just stick to the sides when you transfer.

Some yeast is very sticky. Looks normal to me. What strain is it?

 

[gyst]

Yes, its just strongly flocculant, so its forming chunks and sticking to the walls. Its fine.
