    I opened up my wheat beer fv after 2 weeks to find this.

    If i were to siphon under it and bottle what I can would this be ok?

    I took a small sample under it and it tasted good no real off flavors.

    Just dont want to get anyone sick.

    I don't think you can get anyone sick with infected beer just funky tastes. At least I've never heard of anyone getting sick from beer besides hungover.

    I'd take a sample and taste it. I think you'll know pretty quickly...

    If it tastes good from your sample, I think you're golden!

    Looks like yeast rafts to me. I think you're fine. If you really wanted to try to clean it up, cold crash it for a few days. It'll drop what it can out of suspension. Just take a little trub/yeast when siphoning to your bottling bucket.
