Why is it like this???

[BStewie]

I brewed a Cincinnati Pale Ale and did everything right. This is about 7 hours into the primary fermentation process. I am not going to worry too much about this until 2 days in, but can anyone tell me what this is???

It looks like the yeast is up top, the wort is in the middle, and some of the turd in the bottom.

What was your procedure/recipe?

What yeast?

 

[BStewie]

3-4 lb. Pale malt extract syrup, unhopped
2 lb. Amber dry malt extract
12 AAU of bittering hops (any variety) For example, 1 oz. of 12% AA Nugget, or 1.5 oz. of 8% AA Perle
5 AAU of finishing hops (Cascade or other) For example, 1 oz. of 5% Cascade or 1.25 oz. of 4% Liberty
1 packets of dried ale yeast (safle 05)

Boiled both DME LME at a weak rolling boil (best I can get for my stove top for a 3 gallon partial boil) for approx 30 min. Added the first hops and then continued the weak rolling boil for 1 hour. Added the finishing hops the last 15 minutes.

Rehydrated the yeast for approx 45 min before pitch (took longer than expected to chill the wort)

OG reading was 1.042 at 78 degrees. I didn't add any top off water because I felt that I was at the right OG and didn't have a blow off. Total volume of Carboy was close to 5 gallons.

I see nothing to indicate a problem.

Ok. This is my first time in a fermentating in a carboy, previous was a bucket. I really just wanted to make sure everything was good to go. I just thought I would see my airlock rolling but i didn't. I figure its not a big deal until a full 24 to 48 hours then I would worry.

Getting ready to start chugging, maybe try a blowoff tube.

78F is a little high to pitch,but not too bad. As the wort cooled down,the yeast can settle out. Give the fermenter a gentle swirl to get the yeast on the bottom back into suspension. That usually helps ime.

That looks just about right... it's ready for take off!

There are turds in the bottom?

 

[jonmohno]

Could be pretty fruity if you ferment over 70. Big swings in temps can stress yeast also.Further creating esters and whatnot.
Make shure you have an exact volume when you figure your priming sugar when bottleing so you dont overcarbonate.
You havent seen nothin yet till you see stuff madly flying up and down your carboy working like busy ants.

I don't usually put turd in my beer. I hope that does not cause an infection!

I think the word you are looking for is "trub"!

 

[unionrdr]

It'a mainly yeast on the bottom,the white part. The tan part under that is trub.
