Thanks! This is my first batch ever and the recipe I was given was with steeping grains so I was a little concerned that I was over my head. If this looks right then I am a happy guy!

Really hate to post, but this is a special beer I do not want to mess up...
RIS OG 1.108 FG 1.022-4 currently estimated at 11.6%. Sat in primary for 3-4 weeks so last week I racked it onto 2 cut vanilla beans soaked in 100 proof vodka for 3 days as well as 8 oz of 60% cacao chips. Well yesterday I noticed this little guy staring at me... I'm planning to bottle tonight because this guy does not look friendly. Any ideas? (Sorry for the bad pic, SWMBO texted it to me... will get a better one tonight)
I brewed a sweet stout as my first batch last night, this morning I get up and this is what I see with my airlock happily bubbling along. Is this right?
This is my fist batch as well and it doesn't look good to me. I noticed this the day after racking to the secondary. It's a nut brown ale from extract. https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
look like yeast raft to me
I got that 1 day after yeast pitching, and it continues to develop to form krausen.
My 8 gallon canning pot I use for open pit brewing. I guess I "forgot" to clean this one after the last batch of Porter. Something came to visit and got frozen in mid life! Kind of awesome. This looks like dry ice smoke bubbling up, but it's absolutely locked in ice, bubbles fuzz and all!
Behold!

Hey Guys,
Your pics aren't showing up?
Primitive and awesome as all hell
You aren't a Druid by any chance, are you?
Just opened my apfelwein after 6 weeks. Any idea what this is?/what to do with it?

New to the posting, but I've been lurking for a while. I've been brewing for about a year, and have done maybe 30 batches or so. Never had an infection, or any suspicion of one until now.
This is a 10 gallon batch of Honey Wheat that I split and pitched S-04 in one and S-05 in the other. Both did fine, but the S-05 was a little slower to start, but when I took a reading 12/2 after a week, the S-04 was at 1.014 and the S-05 was crushing it at 1.008! I pitched at 70 degrees, and it's been fermenting since 11/24 at between 64 and 67.
However, I think I contaminated it taking a sample. I followed my usual sanitation method of spraying around the lock and the sample taker with Star San prior to use, but I noticed the white milky stuff in the fermenter on the left a few days later. It has a definite sour smell, but it's not overpowering. Thoughts? Is it salvageable? Should I just give it some more time and take another sample and see how it's doing?
One suggestion I would make is bottle it now then sit on it for a month. I did that with a couple of the batches and it seemed to minimize the effect.
Ok infected or not infected? I've been lurking in the thread for a while and am curious. Have I caught my beer in the early stages of infection? This only my 4th batch of beer and I must say I'm not liking the way this looks? My first dry hopping so this may explain what these small white orbs are. Thanks
Note: the globs in the corners of the pic are my muslin bag.

Great news I really appreciate the quick reply. I also want to take the time to apologize for posting in this thread. noob paranoia I am guilty of today. Thank you again.
Also, now would be a good time to toss in a bunch of raspberries or other tart berry that will blend well with the sour. Accidentally making a Lambic might turn out to be the best thing you ever discovered.
...or it might just be really awful! Please keep us updated.

Besides the circle (which was smaller than a pea) in the middle there wasn't much else floating. After racking there was some film on the side of the carboy.
Totally what it looks like!! But seriously it's nothing? There was a film on the side of the carboy, what is that?
