Do i have a beer infection

[shark_sandwich]

does this look normal. that foam looks very thick and slimy all so was new after taking a S.G. reading on Sunday and took another reading to night to see if I am ready to bottle S.G. is steady at 1.012 since Sunday how long should I let the beer clear it is a pale ale that I made on Sunday the 5th
I've only brewed two beers so far and both were very slow on this one here I had to turn up the temp to 72 F and agitate the fermenter to keep it going used white labs yeast wlp001
2nd attempt on Sunday the 12 is a porter again white labs yeast London ale it seem to be stalled at 1.016 started at 72.5 to start then dropped temp to 68 F
both were aerated with stone and aquarium pump 2 plus hours. been looking in to diy stir plate. help

Looks VERY normal to me. Keep calm and carry on.

it looks fine, nothing to worry about.

You should be good. The porter is also in target range. There will be less fermentable sugars in a full body beer because of the mash temp or the process of creating dark liquid malt extract.

I think you may be confused about how ale yeast work. Take a look at this article because I think you will learn a lot about how the ferment of your beer should proceed. http://www.brewgeeks.com/the-life-cycle-of-yeast.html

I got around to bottling today the beer seemed fine the sg stayed at 1.012 the thick bubbles had disappeared and it tasted fine so i am sure it will even taste better when the carbonation is finished
