Edit- I figured it out....nothing to see here:D

Probably nothing...and the typical newb freak out....but I've never seen this "formation" before.

This is a highish-gravity "malty" ALE, (using a pacific ale yeast).....OG was around 1070. After 2 weeks, I'm down to 1010. I've just never seen this formation of marble sized balls (really seem pretty round) of kraeusen (?). I'm used to seeing a thick layer of foam/much/sludge....etc. These look more like semi-organized little colonies.

Just curious.:mug:

Looks like the begining of a lacto infection to me. It looks like little webs connecting the bubbles. But getting a 1.070 down to 1.010 is pretty good. Maybe rack out from under it carefully.
 
19 days in the primary....haven't tasted it yet. I did just pull one of the round things out. Scooped up with a spoon. They're pretty solid....look and feel like slightly shriveled grapes. Like I say, pretty solid little balls. :confused:

ROTFLMAO!!!! I'm still new to the brewing world.. Gonna start my first batch this week. But man, that is funny as all hell. U must have a lot to drink that night bud. LoL!!! Let us know how it turns out
 
yea...I don't really know why on earth I did that. I think I had some blueberries left over from making wine...and thought...hey, I'll smash 'em up and toss 'em in...yea, that'll work. A wheat beer maybe...but this is basically gonna be a "marzen"; so, really confused why I thought that to be a good move. Oh well....not enough to matter probably. I'll let ya know. How bad can it be? I do "tubro cider" all the time:drunk:....and it doesn't offend me.

Haha! This happened to me once when I used a muslin sack to dry hop a beer. I forgot it was in there and wondered what on earth was growing in there.
