You look fine to me, My stout looks similar during the ferm process. Now, if you don't want beer in there you might be in trouble. Cause that looks like beer to me.
JoeBrewing said:Accidentally forgot to pitch the yeast and left my wort in the fermenter with the lid on but not air locked for a week. Noticed I hadn't locked it up and pitched the yeast and went over and looked in to see this. Think it's salvageable or should I just dump it?
Are there any bubbles? I've gotten the lacto infection on 3 batches this past summer and they all looked like a lunar landscape. They all had what u have but then there were lots of bubbles on top too.
This is no where near as impressive a everyone elses but I've got little white dots all over the surface in my secondary. I know it's got a huge headspace and it's prob infected.

Dear lord, as someone 3 days into their first primary in an opaque bucket, this is some scary stuff. I need to peek when I get home...
A little freaked though by the idea that just because there's a sorority's house full of crud growing on top doesn't mean it's going to be terrible... What percentage of your brews end up with a scary-looking infection on top?

Do yourself a favor and leave it alone for at least 2 weeks. You don't want to see what the yeast are doing anyway.
OK, after 24 hours of re-racking, it's clear and black as a frozen lake before it snows.+1 for yeast rafts
