Kinda reminds me of when aliens visited my back lawn. They left wierd dark-green rings behind. Still not sure how or why? Maybe they were related to the buggers that leave those crop circles. :D

Everyone blames the Aliens, but it the Fairys this time: http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/objtwr/imported...dmanagement.pdf

Fairy ring affects most grass varieties. Symptoms of
this disease vary depending on the species of fungus.
A dark green band of turf may develop in a circle or
semi-circle, or a ring of brown, dying grass may occur.
Mushrooms may or may not be present. White, fungal
mycelia may be observed under the thatch layer. To
prevent fairy ring, apply adequate nitrogen to mask the
symptoms. Improve water penetration, and aerate. De thatch
the lawn if the thatch layer is more than 1.2 cm
thick. Fungicides are available but they have not been
observed to reliably control fairy ring

Damn someone beat me to it!
I just read up about these the other day in Dr Karl's new book...really interesting stuff, baffled people for years!
 
Bribie, you might be getting wort squares, but I get yeast circles....

This effect is similar to ice circles: linky and is function of surface film viscosity/strength and rotational speed, too fast it falls apart, too slow it doesn't form at all..... First time I've seen it in yeast though!
