    I just opened the lid to my 3 week old barleywine to dry hop it and found this:

    Is it an infection?

    The picture isn't showing very well on my phone, but from what I see doesn't look bad, did you sample/smell it?

    Those white blotches look a little suspect. Look through THIS and see if yours looks similar...
    Hopefully not !!

    If it was an infection wouldn't it taste/smell strange?

    No, those are just CO2 bubbles. Nothing weird about that picture.

    Looks like yeast rafts. Totally normal.
