That is beautiful. Did you do it on purpose?
No it picked something up when I transferred it to a secondary to free up my primary.

Definitely an infection but not really from a batch of beer. This is the 2nd runnings I kept and planned on brewing after an extremely long day brewing a barley wine. So I decided to brew it the day after. That never happened and after a week of not getting around to brewing it I went to dump the wort and I found this insane gnarly looking thing. I think it is partly lacto due to the cheesy rotten milk smell coming from it. Not sure why it's blue,(cool though) and what those eggshell looking like things are.
Anyone have any ideas?View attachment 179334View attachment 179335

Yeah,I meant a combination of both factors. Too much time with too much head space.
Yeah, learned my lesson. I'll purge with CO2 next time I secondary.
I'm keeping my hopes up. I'll let it run its course and bottle and maybe it'll turn into something wonderful.
i've seen that before from an intentional inoculation of mouth bugs into wort.
This thread makes me veer from using a secondary EVER!

Mouth bugs?

Here's a possible infection from a witbier. I fermented half with ale yeast, the other half with wine yeast and blended. The photo is from the blend. I let it sit after blending for eight days to make sure everything was stable. The taste and gravity are the same as when I blended. Any thoughts? I already bottled but I want to make sure it's not an infection. If it is I need to bleach my equipment.
Infected? Maybe smelled a little sour but I that might have been the orange peel I used. I think it's alright but would like some reassurance.

Think this has got to be something. ..
Though hole of vittles vault...first time using it guinness clone....rack underneath it and bottle?
Any hope for this? Took a sample before opening lid and the sample tasted fine. It's at 1.010 so maybe bottle from under this beast?View attachment 184941View attachment 184942
