I pitched this batch of oatmeal Stout 13 days ago using US05. I just threw in the dry yeast without rehydrating it so I suspect that these floaty white things are dead or dormant yeast particles floating atop the wort but I'm not too sure. It fermented at about 20-25C for a few days and the yeast seemed to activate instantly once I pitched it. There was pretty vigorous fermentation activity during this time
But then the temperature dropped and it's probably been fermenting on the lower end of its limit, around 12-14C for the last week. Nothing smells off about it and from the last hydrometer measurement I took, it looks like it will hit my FG very soon.
So is this white stuff just dormant/dead yeast? If so how do I get it out of suspension? You can't really see in the pics but the wort is gently bubbling away.
