My red rye ale has been sitting in the primary for a week now. When I went to take a gravity reading this is what I saw. Never seen anything like it before. Is it an infection or is it ok?

And if it's only been a week, don't rush it to the cold crashing stage. Make sure fermentation is done and the yeast have had some time to clean up after themselves. Personally, I'd wait at least another week before even contemplating doing anything. And I'd probably wait at least another 2 weeks before actually doing anything. What was the OG on this?
OG was 1.052 right now it's at 1.020. According to beersmith it should finish out at 1.012. Does it seem like the yeast may have stalled out? I'm still fairly new at this, but it seems to me the gravity should be lower than 1.020 by this point. Maybe I'm just worrying to much. Thanks for all they help.
Since its only been a week, you are worrying too much. Give it more time. Like another 2 weeks. And then see where it is at.
