I noticed that my carboy (secondary) has a white cloudiness above the sediment and a little on the sides. The top of the beer looks great and just wanted to make sure everything is ok. Bottling in 3 days.

Good looking carboy full of delicious beer. :)
 
When I see peoples carboy full of pre-beer, I think delicious sweet tea. Folks from the south know what I'm talking about.:)
