Default Infection or....... RDWHAHB!?

I racked my Honcho Grande Brown Ale Clone to secondary two days ago. It has slowly developed into what looks to be an infection. All of that is almost double what it was this morning!

What do you think?

It's fine, you just kicked up a bit of yeast and have some CO2 coming out of suspension bringing it to the top.

Cool cool. I was hoping that it was just CO2 bubbles, but a few of them just looked a little "funky"to me.

Thanks!

As long as it doesn't smell like rotten eggs, you'll be just fine.
