This looks scary: Any Ideas?
|
|
About 7 days ago I transferred my 1st batch of beer from my primary fermentation bucket to a glass carboy.
The top of the batch is starting to look very ugly:

I agree that doesn't look good. Did your fermentation kick back up after your transferred? I'm sorry I can't help you with direct experience on this, but it does look mold-ish.

I think that is what wild yeast looks like.

Doesn't look like lacto to me, I'd guess Brett (wild yeast).

Is it still drinkable? Tinga: Why wait a year?

Well that entirely depends on you. There aren't any human pathogens that can live in beer as far as I know, so it isn't going to hurt you. Whether it is palatable or not is another story. But people have had some weird, wacky things happen with infections.
