So I was going to keg my xmas ale a few days ago, and when I opened it, there were white flakes floating on the surface, it didn't smell or taste bad, but i was definitely concerned. Instead I transferred to see if anything would change. I checked it today (4 days later) and today it had a white film on the surface.
Fermentation was complete at initial transfer, as FG remained steady. Only thing I did different was that I added pure vanilla extract instead of using vanilla beans soaked in vodka.
Any ideas or advice? I'm leaning toward taking my losses and dumping it, unless one of you alls expertise says otherwise. Picture sequence: 1. Flakes on surface, 2. Transfer to another bucket, 3. Four days later with white film on surface.
