Infection or no?

[braidenlowe15]

Traditional sweet mead. Been in secondary for a little over a month. I'm not sure if this is an infection or if it is still fermenting. Also, the mead hasn't cleared very much but quite a bit of yeast has fallen out and settled on the bottom. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1441944588.814794.jpg

Nope, looks normal. Take two of these (((jager shots))) and call me in the morning.

Top dwelling yeast... I did a traditional with champagne yeast and added some chopped raisins for nourishment - the yeast coated the cut surface of the floating raisins and looked concerning until I realized it was the yeast. You could give the Carboy a gentle swirl if you want.

Probably yeast or something in the honey.

Yeah, that's looks like yeast junk. I have 3 gallon traditional going right now, and it has a nice yeasty film on top. It's in primary though, so that's to be expected. If it's still going and hasn't showed signs of clearing, I'm guessing you probably racked too early.

What yeast are you using and what was your OG? What was the SG when you racked?

I get a similar substance in my carboys too. Its probobly just traces of beeswax floating on top.
