Is this normal?

This is my first time brewing and I decided to try cider. Is this normal or is it ruined?

 

It's a very blurry picture...almost looks like yeast granules up near the bung. If so, don't sweat it.

 

I agree. Looks like dried yeast to me.

 

I disagree with the previous two posters. I believe you have most likely managed to culture a fatal, fascia-eating type of virus that may eat the flesh of your entire body and initiate a global, apocalyptic event. You can either call the CDC hotline and face steep fines as well as possible prison time, or plug the entire carboy and ship it to me for a no-fee, safe disposal. Unfortunately, you will be out the shipping costs and the carboy, but it's much cheaper than calling in the FEDs. PM me for this free service.

 

Yeast granules....

 

Awesome advice right there!!! And a very generous offer. You must work in haz-mat,or be very thirsty!!! Hilarious.
