Just opened the fermenter to check FG and saw this on top. Please tell me this looks normal.

from the photo, I'd say its yeast - no worries. When its time to bottle/keg, just rack from underneath it.

Dont quite understand this, but whatever. I took the top off to check for FG for the first time. This is the first time I have seen it since I sealed it up and let it ferment. Gonna check the FG tomorrow or Saturday and if it is still at 1.012, Im gonna bottle it. Im not unrelaxed at all. I just had never seen what I saw before, thats all.

just relax... that's all... nothing to understand

your beer is fine

but, i really do suggest you give it at least 3 weeks in the bottles.

i opened a wheat beer a little bit early, and was really disappointed because I thought i did something wrong. turns out that what i did wrong was open the beer too soon.

waited another couple weeks before i opened the next one, and it made a world of difference.

now i leave EVERYTHING in the bottle for a month, and it's working out much better.

it was my biggest lesson as a home brewer... you just can't do anything to make it go faster, and when i tried to, i messed things up, so i quit doing that.
