First Infected Batch?

First batch I have had with anything like this floating on top. Is this infected?

Looks yeasty to me.

Looks fine to me too. If you're really worried then draw off a sample and smell and taste it. That will tell you everything you need to know. Relax!

I agree with the others... It looks like yeast to me. An English strain, by any chance?

Smell it, you'll know fairly quickly if something is wrong.

Thanks everyone.

I smelled it, but I am coming off a cold and dont trust me sense of smell yet. Yeast was wyeast 3711. Glad it is just yeast considering it was a ten gallon batch.

Looks fine to me! Now put the lid on and stop bothering it.

I just had this happen to me. How did yours turn out??

Just fine. I racked off the top, bottled 5 gallons and keggle the other 5. No infection, just yeast I was not familiar with.
