Infection Help!!

I was checking out my october fest and found this :


Any ideas what it is?
The october fest fermented for 4 wks and has been in secondary for almost 2 wks.

Maybe it's because the picture is so big, but I am not seeing anything....if you have photoshop or something resize the pic down to 400x400 and repost

Agree--I don't know what I'm looking at.

Looks like a clump of yeast that has risen to the surface.

THIS is an infection

Is the clump of yeast a good thing?

I agree I think it's a yeast colony that has been lifted up from the bottom via co2 and is just clinging to the glass.....

I wouldn't be worried about it unless it was on the beer itself, with "arms," tentacles or other appendages, (or big white nasty bubbles), and singing Broadway tunes...

Funny.

Does this occur during long fermentations?

looks cool to this paranoid noob...

I keep reading these threads and wondering what I'll see on my beer that leads me to inevitably post an "Is my beer infected" thread? I've been as calm as I can be thus far into my first brew, but I'm normally a pretty anxious person, so I know it's coming.

Nah...How many batches are you in?

It's usually simply a first or second batch that people tend to do this....usually.

You may be more like me when I started...I started this hobby calm, after reading all the "don't worry, your beer's not ruined" threads before I started brewing....

As opposed to a lot of new brewers I've helped, I was able to make a logic leap that went, "Well if THEIR beer wasn't ruined, why would I think that if I was careful, followed the advice found in Palmer, Papazian and all the threads I read, and sanitized, then why would I think that mine would be any different."

This might actually relate to you, perhaps you are the next "me" on here

On a side note you know you can it CTRL and move your roller on the mouse to enlarge or shrink the images on the screen.
