A few weeks ago I noticed a white-ish ring around the insides of the bottles of a Williams Holiday Ale kit I brewed on 11/6. My first though was a dreaded infection even though I have never had one before in 10 years of brewing and I am religous on sanitation. Here is a thread I posted with pics:

So - I keg about 6 Grolsh flip top bottles and keg the rest. That way I can sample the bottles to let me know when to refridgerate the keg. I have been monitoring my keg pressure with a gauge to let me know how carbonation is going and the last few days the pressure has risen unusually quick. I normally see anywhere between 15-25 psi (I prime my kegs to conserve the CO2 bottle) and this batch has jumped to 35 psi and still rising.
I am guessing I do have an infection and it is eating the non-fermentable sugars - any thoughts? Weird thing was I tried a bottle a about a week ago and it seemed fine(?) OG was 1.060 and FG was 1.016, and this batch used honey if it matters.
I would appreciate any thoughts on what is going on.
