Well after three weeks in primary, I racked my Nukey Brown Ale to secondary last Saturday. I thought I was pretty sanitary with everything I did but today I noticed 5 or 6 white "patches" floating on top of my brew. I did a search on the forum for infections and saw WAY more than I wanted to but I fear that I may be growing one of my own.
So here's the question, what is the best thing to do? I haven't pulled the bung out for a smell because I wanted to keep it as sealed as possible but should I do that? I was going to leave it sit another 10 days or so before bottling but now I wonder, should I do it sooner? When I rack it to the bottling bucket, do I just stop with enough left in the carboy so the floating stuff stays behind?
I'd RDWHAHB but I don't have any home brews right now!
