I do that from time to time.. So anyways on to my problem. I noticed that there was a last small puddle of water on the bottom of the fridge and I noticed small dots of mold on the fridge door and some on my actually bucket. So I removed the bucket and opened it up and it looks infected but I may be tripping it's going to be bottled on Sunday, marking 3 weeks and I also dry hopped a week or so back. I also noticed it's still bubbly and as in bubbles still pushing up and it also looks like the yeast are still pretty active ImageUploadedByHome Brew1405142438.410154.jpg
 
Nope, not infected. Nice bubbles from the CO2 coming out of suspension and carrying some yeast with them. Looks fine. You don't need it in the fermentation chamber anymore so leave it out to complete the cleanup and while it is out do a thorough cleanup of the fridge too.
 
Doesn't look particularly infected to me. Did you try a taste?

No I didn't give it a taste. as soon as I seen what it looked like I just snapped a picture and sealed it up.

Ok great that's good to hear. And yeah I pulled it out of the chamber as soon as I noticed hat and left for out but because it was so late when I came home I didn't bother to clean the fridge I'm just going to take care of that when I get home from work today.
