Good morning everyone,
I just made my first attempt at dry hopping a beer, the DFH 60 Minute IPA clone (extract with specialty grains). Everything has been going wonderfully, but when I transferred to secondary and added a cheesecloth bag of hops, I am now seeing some white spots on the top of the beer. Some of them look like yeast clumps as I've seen on all of my other beers, some look like bubble rafts, and others look like...I have no idea. I hate to worry and think it's infected, but I did NOT sanitize the cheesecloth first...just simply forgot until I had already dropped it into the beer. I know, stupid. Anyway, here are some pics. The links lead to huge, full-size high-res versions of these small ones.

Thank you for any advice you can offer!
