Hmmm... this doesn’t look normal...

Sorry guys, another one of *these* threads.

Cyser has been in secondary nearly 2 months, transferred after spending about 4 weeks in primary. Had forgotten about it for a while, took a peek tonight.

There’s a thin layer of what at first looked like white foam on top, when I took a closer look, I realized there is a nearly transparent, gelatinous “tail” hanging off it. (pictures provided)

I thought my sanitation was good but perhaps not. Any advice as to how you might proceed? Am I making vinegar? I took the airlock off and had a whiff, still wine-like...

Thanks for the advice.

That look ok to me. fine particles and yeast that were floating from micro bubbles. Degassing over time will let every settle and clear.

Residual beeswax. Natures natural airlock. Mead on.

Thanks guys, that’s encouraging! It’s easy to panic when you don’t have much experience.
