I know that the middle layer is beer but which layer is yeast and what is the third layer?
What are the three layers in yeast slurry? Pic

the pic was taken the day after racking. My slurries always look like this.

I brew what I like to drink. Don't tell me I cant.
I agree with jahdub, krausen, beer, yeast. I'm going to guess you cold crashed it, and it was a Lager yeast? More details would help.

see that whispy layer of white cloudy stuff? that's your yeast. below it is yeast mixed with proteins, hop trub, and crap. pour off the "beer" and then fill the jar with water, maybe two or three times. your yeast layer will gather thicker as the "beer" diffuses, and the trub compacts. you'll be lucky to get half that tan stuff filter out into viable yeast cells. still, much more than a vial and give it a 3L starter, you'll have a monster on your hands.
