I made a Belgian Dubbel which i pitched yeast into about 30 hours ago. I used Wyeast Belgian Abbey II and i checked it out this morning and there is little action as far as fermentation, but there are some small clumps floating at the surface. I am assuming that this is the yeast since it is a light tan color, but the shape of the clumps dont really look too good. Anybody know what this could be?
thanks

Sounds normal don't play with it, let it do it's thing don't let the temps get to high & drink a home brew!

It's yeast and it sounds perfectly normal, quit worrying and leave it alone...

Yeah, I have not had 1762 ferment like that not to say it isnt fermenting after 30 hours. Belgian yeasts can be flakey. Starter? Yeast health/Age?, Pitch rate? Temp?

Turns out that I had dropped the temp too low; as soon as i brought the temp back up it started bubbling away, so hopefully everything is good.
thanks for the responses
