I am in the secondary fermentation stage of my American Pale Ale extract. All has gone well so far and beer tasted great two days ago when I racked to secondary after 2.5 weeks. All general sanitation procedures have been upheld as usual, as in all my previous batches.
I went to look in today by taking off the wet towel rap off the bucket and noticed THIS on top of the beer (see through bucket).
After reading some forums I took a quick whiff of the beer. Smells like very ripe fruit, but still smells like beer too. Temperature has been at a room temp constant of 71 degrees F. Any ideas if this is normal stuff or possibly a fungus or mold? Check out this pic. I hope it just "standard brewing panic." Let me know what you think please. Much appreciated. Thanks!
