So the story.
4th beer to date, a mini-mash Maibock.
1 month primary, 2 weeks in secondary now.
For the past 1 week there was nothing but the random yeast/hop particulate floating on the top, clear top, no bubbles.
Now mysteriously and seemingly within the last week its developed a layer of bubbles on top and little white flecks interspersed in the bubbles that weren't there before.
Smell is quite sour for what Im used to at this point of brewing. Does show the kinda filmy/milky marks on the side of the carboy slightly above the liquid line.
Only other thing I can think of with the sudden bubbles could be the fact that its been storming like crazy today, possibly barometric pressure. Just strange never seen bubbles develop AFTER transfer to a secondary after that time.
So...infected? Say screw it and bottle anyways?
