The glycerin lowers the freezing temperature to actually prevent freezing, and therefore prevents ice crystals from piercing and killing the yeast organisms. In the event that you get cold enough to freeze your mixture, the glycerin may change the freezing structure and minimize damage to the culture.

Hey, my yeast cake on bottom is always pretty solid, not as watery as yours. Did you add water at any point? Or did you just use a little bit of the wort that was sitting on it prior to bottling?
