Quick update. (lemmy.nz)

The yeast seems to have striated very distinctly. Probably didn't mix it enough before putting it away. Oh well, the volume is low enough that convection will sort it out.

that foam on top indicates it's fermenting just fine (unless you shook it up a bunch before taking the pic). I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh I'm not worried about lack of fermenting, only that the yeast being so distinct in the carboy was unusual.

convection always does the job.

worst case, if its really cold or the yeast is stressed, give it a gentle rock.
