I racked a Sasion to a secondary on Wednesday-- since then I have been getting a steady supply of tiny bubbles coming to the surface. There is minimum airlock activity. I have never had this occur before. Is this just ongoing fermentation or an Infection? Guidance would be great. It was in the primary for 3 weeks and the gravity was 1.002
 
More then likely it wasn't quit done fermenting. Let it go and when the activity stops check the FG till it steadies.
 
Ok is this normal -- I was thinking fermentation as well. On Wednesday there appeared to be yeast rafts on the top. These have fallen and all that is left are the bubbles. Should I be concerned with a pellicle? Pics are included
The first pic is from Wednesday the second pic is from tonight

It's fine. Just yeast rafts & left over krausen. It sinks to the bottom,so no worries. Def not an infection. & all the tiny bubbles were dissolved co2 coming out of solution from racking.

Thanks dude -- I was getting worried never had this happen before. What causes this did I rack too early and how long will this last? It's been going on for 3 days looks like foaming bubbles around the sides. Is there something that I need to adjust in my operation to avoid in the future?
 
I get those on almost all of my beers when they go into secondary. Not to worry. Let it spend 10 to 14 days in there and then bottle that puppy!

In honor of your title...
