Wierd Looking Nut Brown (Please Help)

New2HomeBrew · Aug 3, 2007

I am a little bit worried. I just brought out my Nut Brown to keg, and it looks really wierd. There is stuff floating on the top that looks kind of like a trub colored sponge. Should I be worried? Is this an infection?

sounds like krausen(foam formed during fermentation).
how long since you started this batch?
is it at it's final gravity?
a picture would help

It's been two weeks, definetly not krausen.

syphon from under the stuff and taste it.
if tastes good - go ahead and keg - make sure you stop syphoning before the stuff gets to your syphon - you may have to sacrifice some beer to leave it behind. edit: typed this before i saw picture . its not loading for me

saw picture now - looks like hot/cold break suspended by co2 from yeast - i would just syphon from underneath like i said before
