Hey everyone,

Working on a brown ale -- my second home brew! This was brewed on January 1st and I started noticing these floaties about a week later. I don't think it's an infection but wanted to get a second or fifteenth opinion on it. Are these just yeast rafts? I think I might've over pitched a bit on this one...

Also, I noticed a quite a bit of condensation forming at the top of the carboy. Normal? Abnormal? Any reason why it happened?

Thanks! :mug:

Phew! Thanks!

Any thoughts on whether I should continue to ferment longer and hope some of those rafts dissipate a bit or do you think it's fine for bottling?
 
Those are yeast rafts, just had some on my last IPA. I cold crash and they'll fall out so u can do that or just rack it to bottling bucket per usual the rafts will stay on top and shouldn't be an issue
