Hey guys! I have seen for myself all the posts about "did I mess this up" etc. This is slightly different, as I'm not worried that I messed it up, I'm just more curious as to what this could be.
Here's the culprit
I brewed this last thursday (the 21st), it has been fermenting for exactly a week. I am anxious to move it to the secondary, but wanted to make sure fermentation was complete first. So I took the cover off today to take a hydrometer reading. It is reading at 1.011-1.012. My OG was 1.055, so it should be very close to done. Upon taking the cover off I was greeted with what looks like the stuff that grows in between my mother in law's toes. I boiled with canned pumpkin, and transferred it to the primary with the wort. My first assumption is that this stuff at the top is the pumpkin...but man..it doesn't look like pumpkin. I was able to push some of it to the side (accompanied by an awesome, pulling apart a grilled cheese sandwhich, noise) and see the wort below it. It looks great.
So point in case...wtf is this stuff? It doesn't look infectionish...I dunno what it looks like actually. I'd RDWHAHB but I don't have any brews ready to drink yet .
Any input?
