Hello fellow brewers, I hope you will forgive a newbie if this is the wrong forum for my question. I have brewed a few nut browns, a wheat, a killer chocolate stout and a tripel. Rather than leave well enough alone, I tweaked the stout extract recipe to use semi-sweet chocolate instead of baking chocolate in the wort. I had it in the primary for a week, then a clear tank for week before bottling. I was rushing to get it done I know. When I bottled, there were some faint white lines on top of the wort. Enough that I noticed, but nothing gross. Looked like milk. When I bottled I had some bubbles whereas I had not had that before. I racked from underneath and it had a thin ring on top of the bottle after bottling.
2 weeks in the bottle now and most of the bottles now have what looks like a 1/2" variable thickness floater at the top. Best descriptionis egg whites. Did I get a lacto infection? I keep things very clean, my wife jokes I am prepping the kitchen for a birth, so I am concerned my fairly new equipment is now ruined? Please help, I am currently drinking a Budweiser and bummed.
Thank you!
