Am I infected? if so.. with What? The Krausen looks different this time. There is an infectious-looking milky film over everything. And many of the bubbles just stay inflated, not popping. The fermentation is quite vigorous as usual.

Sorry for the bad pictures. It is dark in the room with no light.

This is a Wit beer after 18 hours of pitching the yeast.

How old is the beer? Could be krausen....Kind of looks like lacto.....
 
I know this is going to be difficult advice, but....you're gonna need to give it more time. check it in another week.

IMO, too early for lacto to be that advanced. give it some time.
 
thanks for all the help. Looking at the Krausen now, it appears more regular. it has the more classic "foaming" look instead of that milky film.
I'm also getting large amounts of sulfurous odors. I've read that Wyeast: # 1010 American Wheat does that. I'm feeling better about it all.
