    Thin white layer, couple of bubbles. I think it's co2. The beer tastes fine. Normally I would just RDWHAHB but this one is going to be bulk aged in a barrel with a bunch of other peoples beers, and I don't want to **** up their beer or the barrel.

    Pic attached taken from the carboy neck.

    Definitely infected. I wouldnt infect other peoples beer. Can save this one by racking below the surface and bottling (as long as fermentation is done), but you'll need to brew another beer to add to barrel.

    It appears you have the infamous Mickey-Mouse-bubble infection.

    Holy Zombie thread, Batman!

    I don't think this guy still has the infection from November 2012!

    Great job on your first post, BTW, eva60key. A real solid contribution to the community! :es::es::es::es::hs:
