Is my beer contaminated?

[Spiderted]

hey everyone.

I’m bew to brewing and have only made kits in the past. I designed my own chocolate mike stout. I brewed this last Friday and fermenting seemed to go well. It was vigoursly bubbling but the Kreisen didn’t really foam. It’s now been five days and I’ve started to see these bubbles and am worried it might be contaminated. It doesn’t smell off. Can anyone tell me if it is contaminated and what I should do?

Looks pretty normal to me. Take a gravity reading and have a taste.

Nope - looks good; leave it alone

To me it does look like possible contamination.

You don't need to do anything special as long as it tastes and smells fine.
One thing though is that I'd recommend to more closely monitor the level of carbonation if you bottle. If it is contaminated, it may slowly ferment more over time, creating more carbonation.

Cheers
