So I have an imperial brown ale that spent a week and a half in primary and has now been in secondary for close to a month. It spent two weeks on oak chips. A few days ago I pulled out the carboy to show a friend and put it back. Today I pulled it out again to begin bottling only to find that there were a few white bubbles floating on top of the beer. Also, there were shards of oak chip scraps floating that were not floating when I looked at it the other day. Is this infected? It tastes fine and smells fine but I don't want to drink anything that will make me sick. I was particularly careful with my sanitation for this batch so I'm wondering how this could happen. Any thoughts?
