Red Lager Contamination?

[c0sm0nautt]

This is my third brew and I haven't had issues yet, but this does not look right. It's a lager which I tried to brew using the natural cold temperatures. At first I had it in my garage but the temperatures outside were getting below 10 degrees F so I was afraid it may freeze and kill the yeast. I moved it to my basement where the primary was hovering at about 62 degrees. I opened it up today to take a look and this is what I saw. It really doesn't smell bad. What do you think?

Looks normal. If you let it sit longer all that will fall to the bottom

Even though it's green?

Hops are green. Not sure if that's what's causing the color (I'm pretty new to this) but just a thought.

Its Krausen with a hell of a lot of hopgunk....But perfectly normal.

Its beautiful.

It's strange to me because not a lot of hops went into it. I uses a muslin bag for the hops too.

Stuff happens. Fermentations are often ugly and smelly, and that's the perfectly normal ones.

i have noticed that color a lot when i first add my hops to the boil. and if you are using pelletized hops, there are very fine particles that a bag will not catch
