Got an infection in my blowoff bucket. Can anybody tell me what this is and whether it's worth bottling or whether it'll destroy the beer?
Also, I added fruit. The guy at the LHBS told me to soak it in vodka before adding. I'm suddenly skeptical about whether this was sufficient sanitation.
edit: The reason the tube isn't submerged is because I had to move it to stop blocking the light. And the water in the bucket was mixed with starsan.
edit 2: I'm a *******. I looked in the carboy with a flashlight and thought I saw the same thing in there. I just double-checked because I'm anal about stuff like this, and it was actually the fruit that I'd cut in half floating sliced-half up. I removed the blowoff tube, stuck some foil in the oven, and closed off the top of the lid with foil. Will this be sufficient to protect it until Saturday when I have time to bottle?
