this is my 3rd home brew. the first was good, second not as good, and the third has been particularly strange. my current batch is an irish stout kit with dry yeast. the initial fermentation was slow but eventually got to a fg 1.016 after 3 weeks. since moving to the secondary fermenter, i would notice days of bubbling followed by days of no activity. now, it seems to fluctuate between pressure and no pressure, i.e. sometimes one half of the airlock is filled and sometimes the other half is filled. and now, i have noticed spots slowly growing on the top (picture attached). its been in the secondary fermenter for about 3 weeks. any thoughts on next step would be appreciated. should i toss it? bottle?
