Hey there, I couldn't find any info on these dust like particles in the top of my carboy. It's been about a week in secondary fermentation and now there's hundreds of these little particles floating at the top, is it just yeast particles going to the top instead of bottom? Please take a look thanks.

Hard to tell from the pic but to me it looks like little chunks of krausen floating around.
If it is a lactic infection they will form almost spiderweb attachments and eventually cover the whole top of the ferment with a dry powder. For now you just need to wait it out.
 
Hmm I hope it's krausen. This is my first homebrew and all these particles are scaring me abit. I'l watch out for webs thanks.
