Default Infection?

Tasted "ok" but that looks like infection if I've ever seen it.

But more than likely it is new brewer's fear and not an infection.

Not sure, I've had some beers that looked similar to this that cleared up a few days (obviously just the tail end of an active ferm).

I would imagine this will clear up in a couple of days to a nice, clear, non-carbonated beer...unless of course I'm wrong, then it might grow to something you'll need to approach with a flame thrower.

Mine looks like this right now. It's my first batch, but I think it's normal. After the krausen fell I was left with some brown slime and scattered CO2 bubbles on top. It's ugly, but normal AFAIK.

It's cool. Let it sit for a few more weeks. It'll be good.

It's infected with the ohnos bug. Place in a keg and ship to me and I'll take care of it for you.
