Just kidding. Not panicked... I have every intention of putting this beer in a keg this evening and enjoying it a week from now. That being said, anybody ever seen anything like this before or have any thoughts? (I'm speaking of the distinct white film that is definitely not a krausen.)
For the record:
This is what this beer is:
I brewed it 5/29/2011
I think I racked it to secondary somewhere mid-june.
Today, while checking my carboys, I noticed the airlock on this beer had gone dry enough to let atmosphere in... argh.
These pictures were taken today, 7/5/2011...
Just kinda freaked me out, so I thought I'd see if anyone had any input...
