So I made a starter last night. Its been going for about 18 hours. The yeast is WLP002 English Ale and it was packaged on Sept 29th. Generally before I pour my yeast out of the vial I shake it up to get all of the cells in suspension. Upon doing so this yeast was very "chunky" for lack of a better term and stayed in the form of a heterogeneous solution. I figured the stirplate would break up my chunks so I threw it in some 1.040 wort and let it go over night. This morning I had 2000 mL of egg drop soup. Any idea what is going on here? Keep in mind it was like this out of the vial.
