Is this an infection ?

[pitimany]

Hi, this is my firts beer. I am afraid this is an infection, but I am not sure.

It is a stella clone.

Hope, I get some ideas in what to do ? or just start allover again.

yea you have a major yeast infection going on there. better send it to me for proper disposal.

Just looks deceiving, I don't think that looks much like an infection.

 

[Revvy]

Looks normal to me.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

YES! It is infected with a specific strain of fungus, Saccharomyces, that will only porceed to metabolize the constituents of your wort into various levels of ethanol, esters, phenols, and acids.

Nothing you can do now other than watch the carnage persist.

 

[weirdboy]

Yes, it has a delicious flavor infection.

 

[binaryc0de]

looks like a low level of krausen to me. So looks fine.

Thank you very much ! for your input.

I was very disappointing to think that after weeks of waiting, it was going to be a waist.

I am going to transfer to a second glass carboy to Larger for a month (4-6C), leaving this floating junk and sediments in this one.

Again thanks, my first post and already found great support and feedback.

Cheers !

Well if it is any help this is a brew that just finished fermenting. You think yours looks scary?
I love how mine looks cause I know it's gonna be goooooood!!

Looks awfully dark for a Stella clone...and were you really able to control temperature well enough to do a lager for your first beer?

Lagers are hard...

is that wy1728 by chance? it fermented my RIS and looked just like that.
