Is this infected?

Hi all, just recently moved onto extract brewing from using kits for a couple years. I am currently brewing my 3rd extract which is a patersbier. I believe it may be infected half way through fermentation. I have attached a photo of anyone could advise

Looks like yeast and protein to me.

What is 'halfway through fermentation'? 3 days? 6 days? Temperature? Was there significant lag time between pitching and visible activity? Lots of variables anyone would need to be able to diagnose any issues.

Good Morning, this is 7 days in. The first 5 days started at 18 degrees which started slow (visible fermentation after a day or so). I moved it into a warmer room which is now between 22-24 degrees.

Looks normal to me, although that darker stuff normally gets pushed to the sides and sticks to the fermenter in the first few days.

That's fermentation, i am pretty sure you will be OK.
