I've been homebrewing for almost two years now, and I haven't had an infection so far. However, with our most recent batch, we found something weird in the blowoff bucket. The beer in the fermenter still looks normal though.

Thanks for the help!
 
Looks not-unlike a pellicle ... any bleach or startsan in that bucket, or just krausen and water?

I wouldn't worry too much about the beer... but, I would dump the bucket, sanitize everything, and re-fill with bleached water.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, there's bleach in the bucket. I'll make sure to dump it and re-fill!
