Infection or Yeast Raft

[TBuuck]

No bubbling in the airlock for first three days of fermentation so I investigated... The seal where my airlock goes was torn off on the bottom, likely leaving my brew open for attack. Is this infected or just some floating yeasties?

These are some big happy chunks of yeast from what I can tell. If there's the slightest gap the CO2 will escape an you won't see bubbling. Only a gravity read will tell ya what's going on!

Looks like yeast rafts but it's tough to tell. What type of yeast? What temp? Does it smell bad?

Mostly yeast rafts,but there's some whitish stuff around them in the center. no ring around the collar either that would denote fermentation going on. I'd take a gravity reading. What was the wort temp when you pitched the yeast?

Looks like fermentation is mostly over- that's yeast and krausen that just hasn't sunk yet. It may sink, or it may just chill up there. Looks like beer to me!
