weird foam.

[Pollosaurio]

So, got a problem. i know that, its normal to see white foam, but i think the foam that i got is bad, saying this because i see like "bubbles" and things alike.

its normal, or its a bad thing this bubbles?.
( im doing a JOAM mead)

The krausen foam is all bubbles of various sizes. The larger bubbles are just party of that. When the big bubbles don't pop as the active krausen does it's thing, & start to look white & slimy, then you have the beginnings of an infection.

this is how it looks, It has been sealed two weeks, and have another question, I can not open it under any circumstances? I want to see how it goes the smell

Foamy krausen leftovers look ok. But the white blotches don't look good.

My thought is that you are making a mead, not a beer and the mead doesn't have the proteins that form the head on beer so you won't get a krausen like when you make beer.

Open the carboy and take a sample for hydrometer testing and taste that sample. If you don't leave the airlock off there won't be much oxygen that can get it.

I think those white blotches are actually leftover bits of label on whatever glass vessel that is being used for fermentation. At least that's the way my eye is interpreting that image.

Today i will try to get a cleanest picture

It is a mead, or So said the recipe.
