Is it infected?!

[LILJONNYWV]

I am not sure if my beer is infected. Could someone help me out om this one?

I don't think thats infected but I could be wrong. Here check out this Thread, there is a lot of people talking but there is also a lot of pictures you can look at of infected beers. Just read a post or 2 after the pic cause all of them arent infected.

How along in the process are you? Is it a week old 4 weeks?

I've gotten that stuff in several of my beers. I can't figure it out either. I've gone way detailed in sanitizing, and it's helped a little. However, even with that stuff in there, when siphoning it out, the majority of it will cling to the side walls, and I leave about .5-1" of beer in the fermenter, and ie never had any of flavors from it.
Still, I'd like to know what it is!

crazy out of control yeast rafting?

 

[LILJONNYWV]

I am about 2.5 weeks into it and going to bottle tomorrow.

Looks like either residual foam from the Karusan, or yeast rafts, either way looks tasty, not infected. You will know infected, it tastes terrible.

the pics are a bit dark and it's hard to see what we're looking at, but personally i've never seen rafting like that.

I am about 2.5 weeks into it and going to bottle tomorrow.

OP, is this stuff on top going away with time, staying the same, or growing? i don't think (think, not know) it's an infection, but i've never seen that myself. how does the beer taste? is the gravity stable after 2.5 weeks, or is it still dropping? what is the SG at the moment? all things to consider when worrying about an infected batch.

That ain't no infection...

I got that in my last batch and I thought it could have been from to much air space in the secondary. Any of the pro's think this could be?

It almost reminds me of a lacto infection starting. But no webs between blobs & bubbles that I can see for sure.

That's no moon-... oops, I mean infection.
