Infected?

[Rob2010SS]

Hey guys. I brewed this Dawson's Kriek kit 6 weeks ago. I just moved it to secondary yesterday on top of the tart cherry puree. I checked it today and saw this. Yeast was the wyeast 3278 lambic blend. Im a little worried about what this looks like. Did it somehow get infected? I feel like my sanitary practices were on par.

Just looks like a ton of CO2 bubbles to me

I do not see the picture, if you have attached one.

That's funny considering there's all kinds of critters in that blend
Anyway, I'm guessing there was enough sugar in the fruit to get them all feeding.
Doesn't look like an infection, and it'd be pretty darned quick to do that overnight if it was...

Cheers!

An infection is possible after transferring to secondary but they take time to get started. Your beer hasn't been in secondary long enough for an infection to show yet. What I see in the picture is CO2 outgassing, perfectly normal. You do have a lot of head space which seems to be one of the requirements for getting an infection but it will take days to show if you did.

This picture does not indicate infection to me. I just see a lot of co2 bubbles, likely from fermentation. The blend you used contains brett and bacteria, so your beer is already 'infected'. With all that head space, you will in all likelihood see a pellicle form and that's normal for brett & LAB.

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. I was really worried. I used a 6 gallon carboy because of the reviews i read said with the fruit you'll kick off another fermentation so you'll need the extra head room. Cant wait to drink this one
