White streaks/blobs/misc. in secondary...

[scrambledegg81]

Yeah yeah, I've used the search function already, but most threads about it don't have pictures similar to what I've got going on.

So I'm on day 4 of an IPA, and since about day 2, these blobs have been popping up on the sides on my secondary. It was small at first, but has since grown all around the inside of the carboy and it's really making me wonder. I don't smell anything really offensive coming from the airlock (smells quite delicious, actually...), but it's just got me wondering whether or not it's the yeast that's clumping to the sides and not something more sinister. Haven't had anything like this happen before, but this is the first time I've used White Labs (liquid) yeast instead of dehydrated, if it makes any difference.

(Don't believe the thermometer...hasn't worked since day 1!)

Any help appreciated.

Looks like normal fermentation to me! The stuff on the sides is yeast sticking to the sides, it happens.

Yup, looks perfect to me.

Awesome. Just had me worried how quick it started to "grow". I owe you both a bottle.

Yeah, fermentation can be pretty gnarly sometimes. That looks normal.
