Any advice on whether this beer is a gonner, a possible hallucinogen, or normal, would be great.
I brewed a basic Paulaner Hefe clone (full extract; the easiest recipe I've made to date) and primary fermentation went great. I hit target gravity in a week and it tasted good. Then I decided to add fruit. I went to the local farmers market and got some strawberries and peaches. I washed them, put them in a blender with half a Campden tablet, and poured the mixture into the secondary. Then I racked on top of the fruit puree and attached a blow off hose. No action. None at all. After five days, I racked to a tertiary carboy to try and avoid getting fruit globs in the bottles at the end. After about three days in the carboy, I noticed a white film on the top. Then this morning, there were these huge standing bubbles. Not sure what to do. Does anyone have any advice on whether it is safe to drink?
Fermentation temp has fluctuated between 72 and 75 degrees.
