Clingons on the starboard Bow

[Ciderhead]

Just transferring my Stella Clone to secondary and first time using the Saflager w34/70.
Nice rock steady ferment and the start of a nice clear beer, I was reading here where somebody posted about yeast strings and its the first time I ever saw them, is this peculiar to this yeast?
They never got anywhere near my secondary as I tilt and I always use a lash of this stuff sterilised over the end of the autosiphon with an elastic band.

I am not overly concerned as the beer tasted clean and great and off to lagering now.

That looks very healthy to me - well done

I get this (yeast clumps on the side) almost every time I brew.

Hope it tastes as good as it looks !

Thanks Partridge for the input, I just hadn't seen those "man of war" drifters before.

Like my floaters I am going to rise above that comment

Lagering down now to 4 Degrees and its crystal clear, a bit on the darker side for a stella clone, 
had a little sip, and it tastes really good except for a slight butter taste at the end, dammit! I even did a diacetyl rest.
Lets she how she goes when I'm down at just below 2 Degrees and after I carbonate in 4-6 weeks.

What's your water like for brewing,if the carbonates are high and you did not lower them this might be part of the reason why the beer is darker. Carbonates will redden a beer,not a well known comment on point.

thats it I think
