White clumps with dark specs.....

[rented_mule73]

I have brewed a True Brew Amber kit... after reading several posts here that said the beer was very bitter I decided to add 1 cup of dark brown sugar and 8 ounces of unsulfered molasses. I then soaked 1 whole vanilla beans seeds and all 3/4 tbs of cinnamon 1 tbs whole cloves and 3/4 tbs of nutmeg in some 40 proof vodka. I poured the spiced vodka bean, cloves and all into my secondary and racked my ale over it. I have now noticed large white clumps with dark specs.... I am hoping these specs are the vanilla bean seeds.... anyone seen anything like this ?

Noob...

Are they floating on the top? If so it sounds like clumps of yeast and protein... at least that is how it was described to me awhile back.

Yeah looks like it is clumps of yeast/protein and some vanilla bean seeds.... just looked a bit crazy at first.... had only been in secondary for less than 24 hours..... thanks
