Potentially first infection?

[frankerzc]

Hello, I started this one gallon batch two weekends ago and it had a very vicious active fermentation (my first time using LalBrew New England Dry Yeast). All visual activity stopped a week after yeast pitching with some yeast making up the airlock (this was my first time seeing that happen). I have now gotten set-up to bottle and I'm wondering if my batch is wasted or if it's okay. I opened the airlock to sniff it and it smells quite pleasant. Unfortunately I do not have a hydrometer yet, so I do not know about the OG vs FG point.

Any information would help!

Normal, no worries.

Looks like yeast clumping on the surface. You're probably fine.
