white stuff in Kreusen ring

[Old_E]

I'm not all that worried, but wanted to get some thoughts.
I had a red ale in the primary for about 2 months. Last night I was kegging, and it looked and smelled perfect... for some reason I didn't taste it. I was going to wash the yeast, but when I was cleaning the bucket, I went to wash off the stuck on ring, left by the kreusen, and i noticed some white crap growing on it. I think it was far enough from the beer to where it wasn't in it, and I never saw anything on the top. I didn't wash the yeast for fear of infection.

I'm thinking this formed late, and the beer itself was too high in alcohol for it.

Another thing that I found odd - the bottom of the bucket had some dark stains. Never had this happen before.

the white spots sound like mold maybe. but if it smells good and tastes good who cares right?

it was more like a white slimy layer, not spots. The beer tastes ok, I think. I will try again tonight, before having a few others.
