I knew it wasn't going to improve overnight so I scrapped it back into the jug, added about a Tbs of the brine/bi-carb mix, microwaved to 37 C , then SB'd for about 2 or 3 minutes until it was almost too thick to glop into the molds.
I'm a beginner so I'm just guessing here based on what I've read. That looks sort of like "alien brain." Caused by overheating during saponification. I'm guessing that microwaving it once saponification had already started is what caused it.
