What is this infected with and can I turn it into something worth drinking??
|
|
This is supposed to be a hoppy APA but after racking away from the dry hops this white growth started up. I am not ready to dump it quite yet but was wondering if anyone knows what it could be??

Do you have a better picture? From what I can tell looks like it just stirred up your yeast and reactivated it a bit. Although I can't tell if there are any weird penicile type growths.

It doesn't look like anything but yeast, like electric said.

Same here, it looks like a new krausen to me. Are you sure the beer was finished before you moved it to secondary?

That definitely looks infected to me. Brett would be a reasonable guess.
The pizza bubbles and veins over the skin are a pretty good give away.
I would either drink it as fast as you can if it still tastes good, or if you don't need the carboy, let it sit for a couple of months. If you need the carboy, just dump it and start again after taking a good long look at your sanitation practices.

That's no krausen.... the beer itself is pretty still and clear.
Take a whiff and possibly even a taste test! I've seen lambics that look far worse than that and people actually like them

Taste test reveals a hoppy pale ale. Whether this will change over time remains to be seen. For now I think I will have to drink half of it and stick the other carboy in a dark corner for a few months to see what transpires. If I get a better picture I will post it again.

Have you tasted a sample at all or sniffed the airlock?
