So quick question, I was using some DME for a starter, and I shut off my stir plate and I moved the solution into the fridge after it was done, what happens is after about 10 minutes there is an almost clay/jelly like white substance that forms on the bottom that I know is not yeast. I know this because I can pour off everything on top and it stays there.
Is there something wrong with the DME I'm using? Its Light DME, and I am making the starter using 4 cups water to 6 oz DME. What I'm thinking is that it might be old. (~4 months since I bought it at the store). But it has been in a gallon zip lock bag with a dessicate kit inside and in the pantry.
