Yeah, looks normal to me. Fermentation can be funky.
What exactly did it smell & taste like?
Working on my second ever batch, I ran into this after moving it to my secondary. They are bubbles that are collecting together and go around the carboy in a ring.
After my first batch I noticed the yeast settled in a circle at the bottom, so I'm wondering if it's just yeast that have settled and still fermenting, or something worse could be living in my beer...View attachment 224367
Hello fellow brewers,
I am fairly new to home brewing. So new that I had 1 more Mr. Beer refill kit left and decided to test out my new equipment with it. On the wort where there are no bubbles there are small brown clumps of something. I dont think that my beer is infected but I am just curious. What are your thoughts?
Still not sure about it, however..

been gone from home for work, and the wife sent me these pictures. she reports that this stuff appeared over the last couple days. the beer has been in primary for almost a month and is still burping through the blow-off tube every 15 seconds or so.
my questions are what is in my blow off bucket and what is the layer that looks like paint over spray above the yeast cake?

Just dryhopped this session ipa.
I opened the lid to bottle but found this.
I've brewed many batches, but I don't remember seeing anything quite like this.
Thoughts?
Looks like lacto to me, unfortunately. I'd give it a few days and see if you get more of those white bubbles. If you do, I'd say you've got an infection going.
Hop powder congegration. Maybe somebody should start preaching or something.
Pale ale. Fermented 4 weeks. Put in a pound of fresh wet hops. Removed fresh hops and allowed beer to sit in fermenter for another 2 weeks. Kegged beer tonight and found this. Hop bag was sanitized.
Thoughts? Beer tastes ok. Smelled ok.

Looks fine. the beer is gassing off the co2.
Not all infections are bad.i may be contributing to this thread soon. It looks like very very early stages of an infection but time will tell. prob when i get back this weekend it will be more noticeable. I'm already anticipating dumping it.
