Hi guys. I made a gluten-free beer for my father-in-law. I was looking forward to bottling it today however it looks like it is infected. It was 2 1/2 gallons with sorghum syrup and 8 ounces of Quick oats. I've never broody gluten-free beer before and I've never had an infection before. How does this look?

I'd guess that there may be some oil from the oatmeal that is causing some weird dispersion of the foam.

If it smells OK, tastes OK (adjusting for temperature and lack of carbonation), and is where the FG should be, why not proceed?
