I brewed my Munton Pale Ale yesterday. When I filled my fermenter with water (after mixing the kit and all) it got too cold. Instead of waiting for it to warm up I sprinkled yeast anyways; because a lot of people say its better to pitch yeast early then to wait for right temperature and let it get contaminated. I left it for about 12.5 hours and checked on it, it seemed to have stuff on the top floating around which i haven't seen on my first kit, and not a bit of fermentation is going on. Should I be worried on the stuff that's floating around or is that normal? its small white things floating...not sure how to describe it. The smell still looks normal.
Also instead of putting on an air lock, i used a cloth and put the lid loosely on the cloth. My thought is; as long as a bit of air can escape I should be fine.
Could it be small hairs from the cloth? Although I don't know how it could fall in...
The Yeast was a little bit out dated but only about a couple months.
