Is that... normal? The surface of the beer was absolutely clear of any flotsam for practically last 2 months. They look like yeast rafts and there is also a small, filamentous something or other about a centimeter long running across the surface. They popped up a few days ago and haven't gone away. I jostled the beer a bit trying to get a better look, so I can't tell if I spread them out or they are growing.
I was thinking of bottling this beer this evening, but if there's a chance that this is the early stages of an infection I don't want to deal with bottle bombs later. It tastes "normal" for flat, warm beer, though.
Any experiences with this? Anyone who has had a batch infected in the secondary remember what it looked like when the infection started? Or anyone had yeast rafts pop up later in the secondary?
