Is this batch infected?

[Moose777]

Brew day was 4-19, 1056 yeast. My prior 2 batches had infections so I took extra care to clean and sanitize everything.

The white foam on the top looks a little funny to me n seems to be getting larger..this is 7 days after high krausen.

I'm getting a bubble every minute or so through the air lock so I know there's still some fermenting going on.. Maybe it's just going into a second fermintation?

Dunno, I've brewed maybe 25 batches but now I'm extra cautions with the last few infections.

How can I tell if there's an infection? Any opinions based on these posted images.
BD was 4-19, these pcis were just taken 4-30

Hopefully I'm just paranoid but man after all the work and expense of an all grain brew day infections are really disheartening.

is it fuzzy or are those just bubbles? looks like normal fermentation to me, but it does seem odd for it to be that bubbly after 11 days.

 

[doctorRobert]

does it look like your other infections?

 

[Moose777]

They are just bubbles, there's definitely no chunks or anything really caking together. Maybe I'll just pull a hydro sample, do a reading and see what it tastes like.

looks like normal fermentation to me. the krausen is packing down and dropping out.

This is why I primary in plastic buckets.. Let it set for two weeks then transfer.. I haven't seen anything like this, but when I secondaried to my glass carboy a couple of times I have gotten worried about infection, but after kegging I have realized that I was just paranoid.

I have buckets but I like peeking in on it and especially during high krausen..It is covered in my black Raiders jacket and kept in 65d wine fridge until transfer to keezer/kegs

Taste it!

The nose knows (or tongue in this case).

It does look like normal fermentation though.

It looks ok to me. I just had a IIPA that still had an inch of foaming krausen after 2 weeks and was bubbkling every 30 seconds or so. It smelled fine coming through airlock and a week later all was settled and done.

I think you are good.

Thank, you gentlemen...I'll post results when I sample. Hoppy brewing

This just looks like good healthy yeast. I'd let it go and give it a taste test before you bottle.

Very happy to say I was just a bit paranoid. Just pulled Hydro sample and the beer tastes good. Kegged it and put on gas.
