Infected?

[warasd]

First batch, is it infected? The white on the left side is camera flash. Was in primary from April 1st to May 24th, it has been in secondary since. The bubbles started popping up after putting it into secondary, not exactly sure when specifically however. I did a tasting of it when putting it into secondary and it tasted pretty good, didn't really sense any funkiness.

looking for additional feedback as I was told by a few on reddit that it is fine, but I am just making sure.

It could be outgassing, hard to tell from here.

But if those are slimy bubbles, it would indicate an infection, and will get more prominent with time, so give it a few more days. If it is infected, and the mead is done, you can bottle (use plastic soda bottles!) or keg it and store very cold, which will delay the infection progress, but won't cure it. Then drink it fast.

What are the ingredients? No expert but that does look a little like something going on at the surface. One possible solution is to hit the mead with K-meta. That should kill any bacterial infection but it will also stall (or halt) any ongoing fermentation though if you pitched the yeast April 1 fermentation should have ended.

This doesn't look very infected. It looks a bit too creamy. What's the gravity at right now?
