Yeast at bottom of fermentor???

[Colizza]

I just pitched the yeast (about an hour ago) and i see this at the bottom of the fermentor (i often see this stuff). Is is yeast? proteins?

What is it? The yeast us wlp570 belgian golden ale yeast and its a low floculent. Made a 1 liter starter2 days ago, refrigirated it and pitched at about 8 degrees colder than the wort

[justenoughforme]

you pitched a LOT of yeast it looks like.

 

[Colizza]

I did not stir it and i only pitched 190billion cells

So what should i do?

 

[smAllGrain]

Assuming you didnt filter out the hot/cold break that is totally normal

 

[justenoughforme]

shake it once when you pitch

I did not stir it and i only pitched 190billion cells

give it a good stir and wait

How dhould i stir the fermentor?

I personally wouldnt worry about it. I am not confident all of that is yeast. Prob hot/cold break (proteins) as mentioned before. The yeast are living, just let it ride.

Edit: You did aerate before pitching correct?

Get a bucket. Then you won't have to obsess about normal sedimentation.

Yes i did, although i do not yet have pure O2 tank, i splashed, mixed, whisked the hell out of it for about ten minutes

I roused up the sediments with my auto syphon. Fermentation started at 4hr mark. Noe its getting intense. Do yeah, was not very worried, but always wondered what that stuff was before fermentation started
