My first batch of beer I'm making for a beer brewing class is a wheat beer by Brewer's best. I've followed all of the instructions perfectly (I think) and made sure everything post boil (including racking to the secondary) was thoroughly sanitized with star san. When transferring to the secondary, it seemed fine. I'll post pictures. It was a nice cloudy orange color coming out, and still looked orange in the carboy, but a tad darker. I know this was because it was in a larger volume than what I was seeing through the siphon hose. It's been in the secondary for close to two weeks now and it has gotten noticeably darker. I don't see many "fuzzy's" but there are a few things floating at the top. I haven't maintained the temp as much as I did during primary fermentation so it has probably been sitting in this carboy about 4 or 5 degrees warmer than it had been. Would you guys think my beer is infected?? Hopefully not. Going to bottle it tomorrow, but just a tad paranoid right now.
