So I’m brewing a Canadian Blond from a fresh Cooper’s extract kit. I thought I’d try the Knox gelatin, for the first time, in secondary to aid in clarification. It’s been three days since transferring to secondary and I was going to bottle today but noticed the surface looked odd. I keep my equipment extremely clean with Oxyclean and sanitized with San Star. With all the times I’ve done secondary, I’ve never had an issue with infection. I’ve actually never had an infection issue my entire years brewing for that matter.
So my questions are for the following photo is;
1) Could this be an infection?
(Photo made it look much whiter than it actually looks. Other little dots are bubble clusters.)
2) Could I save this batch if it is the start of an infection?
(Bottle but stop with an inch from the top?)
(Skim the top prior to bottling? Other methods?)
(much whiter in photo than it actually looks.)
This is how I transfer.
