WHAT ON EARTH!

This evening I opened my FV to take a gravity reading and found this.

This is my CML landlord recipe brewed two weeks ago. OG was 1.052. Tonight’s reading was 1.010 so I guess it’s finished. Over the past two weeks I’ve left it to do its job and haven’t peeked inside. To me it doesn’t look too scary and I’m cold crashing it.
Any ideas what it could be? I’ve never seen it before.

I find a lot of CML yeasts are prone to yeasty floaters. Sometimes loads. Don't know why - I've never had it with other yeasts.

Looks harmless but a bit off putting!

Give your Fermentation a few hard taps on the side and you will find they all drop to the bottom - in my experience

I will second that, the worst for me is beoir but as above a few slaps and they all sink

I assume you had no ill effects from the floaters. I’ve given the FV a couple of knocks and they’re sinking the bottom. I’ll give it a few days and transfer it to my PB ready for testing at Christmas.

I emailed CML once after their Hell looked like lumpy scrambled egg in the bottom of the FV. No issues.

Glad you posted this. I have floating scrambled egg in a turbo cider that’s 6 days in using Youngs cider Yeast. Was wondering what it was.

I'll have to give that a go next time - I must be too gentle when I'm handling my FVs!
