Yep. Sour??
Completely normal krausen that appears to be receding. Especially since you did mention a blow out...
One thing to note, this is week three. Does this "Krausen" sometimes take weeks to clear up?
I hope that's infected.
It's hard to tell absolutely with the infection, but if that whitish part isn't all reflection then it could be the start of something?
Can someone please let me know if this is an infection? Noticed it about a day ago. Its a honey wheat ale, and it's been about 12 days in primary. This is my third ever batch, and I've never seen anything like this before. Thanks!
Hard to tell from the picture - if the bubbles are unchanging and covered by a sight film, or pelicle, as seems to be the case, then this is early stage lacto and or aceto. Smell and taste will be big indicators as well. If there is an unpleasant sourness and/or spoiled dairy odors, then the prognosis is even more likely to point towards infection.
This is 3/4 of a gallon of robust porter that wouldn't fit in the keg so I decided to let nature do its thang.
It was put into secondary about 8 months ago on completely forgot about.
So, what do you guys think, bad or good? Will it kill me? View attachment 359914

1st time fermenting in a carboy.
1st time using liquid yeast.
1st sour.
Is this white fluff krasuen?
Is it left over from the San star?
Assuming this is normal?
Used to brown.

First pick just looks like foam from starsan or maybe from pouring vigorously.
What yeast did you pitch? Second pic looks like krausen for a typical saison at my house.
White Labs WLP630 Berliner Weisse Blend
Just looks like pale, low gravity krausen to me. You're definitely infected with lactic acid bacteria from that strain, though. Enjoy!
No. Looks to be too early in the fermentation to say, at any rate.Is this what a intentional lacto infection looks like?View attachment 359964
maybe ill sit on it for a little while longer.
If it doesn't taste horrible, maybe try to freeze condense it for fun?
Is that fermenting in a kettle?
