This is the 3rd week of dry hopping an IPA with pellet hops in a secondary fermenter. Do these bubbles normal or does this look infected? I took a hydrometer reading today and will likely bottle tbis weekend. This is my first time brewing so any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Ive seen similar in a dark beer of mine. Just monitor the surface for growth of those floaties. Unlikely contaminated IMHO
 
Those are just bubbles, nothing to worry about.

Next time you might want to consider leaving in primary, not using a secondary. I hope you have an airlock too.

Cheers & welcome to HBT!
 
General advice: skip the secondary next time and longer dry hopping time than 5 days is counter productive.
