I just transferred my beer from the primary to the secondary fermenter but one day later i see white blotches on the top of the beer. Does this mean it could be infected or did i just transferred it too soon and its still fermenting? Any ideas?
Not sure if its infected

probably just started up a little fermentation again.
I call them yeast floaties and they are very common after you transfer to secondary. No worries on that beer.
Yes it's yeast rafts. Yeast buoyed up by co2 from the bottom. Or it's going to grow a krausen because you racked to soon but NOT and infection. Both things are perfectly normal and happen all the time.

I had a situation where I transfered to a secondary and I got this patchwork of white stuff on the top of my beer. Thought was infection but upon closer inspection was just a few continuous streams of CO2. Turned out there was a little bit of fermentation left.
