Infection or not?

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

This is a Pliney The Elder with US-05. Looks like soap bubbles. Normal?

Hard to see but it does not look like normal krausen.
Probably need more info like how long since u pitched yeast etc.

Bad photo but it looks normal for having beer goggles on

yeast pitched 5-17-15, in a Pliney the Elder

It could be left over bubbles from fermentation. The majority of the yeast has probably dropped out and linguring release of co2 is creating the bubbles

The second one definitely looks better, still a pretty whitish foam though which doesn't quite look right.

Looks pretty normal to me.

dry or rehydrated ? 11 days seem like a long time

Looks normal to me too. Being that it's a Pliny, I wouldn't think it to be too unusual for there to be stubborn u fallen krausen after 11 days. Did you have a vigorous fermentation the first couple days?

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

not too sure about the vigorous fermentation. I'll just go along with the recipe and wait for the big taste test. I just have never seen the "soapy" type stuff as in the first pic I posted.

 

[Kevin79]

When was the first pic taken?

 

[OleBrewing]

As brew_ny posted 11 days seems like a long lag time. But your latest pic does look like the beginning of fermentation.
