Welcome to the forum.
There are a few reasons why your distillate could be yellow, but you do not give us much information to help you. What type of still? what it is made of? is it a new still? have you completed cleaning runs? have you previously produced clear distillate using the same method?
All of the above are relevant, however the most common cause for yellow or straw coloured distillate is "Puking" a term use to describe foam from the wash in the boiler being forced into the condenser.
If puking is the cause then reduce the amount of wash in the boiler or add some conditioner to the wash.
