Possible Infection, Is this bad?

[Brutus Brewer]

I brewed a Belgian Wit today, added the yeast about noon, and last checked the beer around 5PM. I went to check it about a 9:30 and it looked like this:

Is this an infection?

That looks like krausen. What yeast did you pitch? I had one a couple weeks ago that took off fast. When I find the pic I'll post it.

This was it at 6 hours. Only 3 gallons.

What yeast did you pitch?

Wyeast Belgian Wit, 3944 maybe

From what I've heard infections don't normally take off that fast. Did you make a starter? I think your just seeing a quick takeoff.

Yes I made a 1 liter starter. I've never really seen that bubble formation in my beers before.

In some types of wort Belgian strains put out those large bubbles. No worries
