If that is what Lacto looks like then I feel fairly confident that none is present in my batch. Looks quite different. I am torn between whether or not an infection is actually present but have went ahead and began the crash cooling process by setting the temperature control on my conical to...

I had been planning to do the cold crash at this point. Which would be done inside of the fermenter. It has built in temp control with warming/cooling capabilities. I will be kegging, not bottling. Please advise.

If it is indeed the start of an infection what is my best immidiate plan of action to salvage the batch?
