Brewed on 5/7 and placed in primary. Allowed to sit for 10 days in primary maintaining temperature in the low low 60's. Racked to secondary on 5/17, still maintaining low 60's.
Primary was in a plastic bucket, which means I didn't see ANYTHING during the active stage of fermentation. Now it's in glass and I am probably being a little overbearing. The spots look almost like tiny white clumps of bubbly mass (the largest being about the size of a dime in diameter and there are probably only a total of 6 or 7 on the surface). They weren't there when I cracked open the primary and now they are. I'm not sure how to load pictures on here or I would. I've heard a ton of people say it's yeast (reading other posts) but I want a little more direct reassurance. I've done EVERYTHING by the numbers so I would really hate to think I've infected my first batch despite my best efforts.
