I've washed 2 batches thanks to the stickied how to above, and i have a question.

I was making room for my 3rd keg/faucet in the fridge last night and had to move my jars of yeast. All were clear liquid wise with the yeast setteled out nicely on the bottom except for one, it was cloudy and the surface of the water had what kind of looked like an oil slick on the top, but mostlikely wasn't oil (just appeared like that).

Is that one jar bad? I don't think it got bumped before I moved it, so I'll watch it and see if it doesn't settle out. Though I have a feeling it wont.
 
Sounds like a bug. maybe. also oil slick sounds like maybe sanitizer residue or soap, maybe brett. If everything else has settled and that one has not I would just toss it out.
