What's This

Out of 5 small batches of cider, this is the only one that looks funny. Juice was unpasteurized and treated with potassium metabisulphite per Andrew Lea's book dosing.

Smells ok and MAYBE a slight tinge of tartness. Have not tasted it. The pic shows a thin slightly opaque white layer with little bubbles that ALMOST look like there is a slight line or ridge connecting them.

Sounds like infection to me.

Am I the only one that thinks that looks like sperm?

Seriously though, this is one time I'd have to say it's likely to be an infection, as I've never seen anything like that. Usually larger bubbles like that tend to be something not so good.
