Waiting on my 10th brew right now. The other 9 have all turned out great. I racked over to my secondary about 1 1/2 weeks ago so I'd have the primary ready to use again. This was about a week after brewing. After a day or so, I noticed a bit of stuff floating in the beer. No big deal. After several days, there was more stuff floating. Over the last 4 or 5 days, the amount of stuff floating has stabilized and doesn't seem to be increasing. There's not a ton of it, but I'm at a loss as to what it may be.

Could it possibly be mold that started growing due to poor sanitation?
 
mold would be pretty obvious, take a sniff, if it smells like yeast and beer then you have yeast and beer
