English ale yeast

Brewed a summer ale today. I used white labs English ale yeast… looked normal instill I shook it up. It looked chunky almost like cottage cheese. It was still in date, anyone seen this before?

very normal

Thanks, I haven’t seen yeast look that way before.

Most of the english strains are more flocculant (the cells clump together like you observed) than American or continental European strains. As mentioned above, normal, just a more flocculant strain.
