This is a Dunkelweizen extract kit at 8th day fermentation. This is my 13th brew so yeah I'm wary of that number :-D My Tilt is reading 1.000 but historically it measures an avg of 3.5 points lower so this beer could be around 1.004. I brew a wheat Blue Moon that also went very low on FG. All I see now are very very tiny bubbles that from far look like a white film but it isn't. Have you seen something like this that later became an infection? Reason I ask is because yes on my previews 12th brew I saw nothing like this. Maybe I just worrying too much. Fermented at 68°F and now it is at 61°F in my basement. Thanks.

Yeast produce carbon dioxide gas during fermentation, which causes bubbling.

The same gas is what carbonates beer for when you drink it.

Keep the lid closed!

Huhh... yeah I know that. Is a glass carboy. I think it will be fine. I usually do not open it until transfer to keg when I get FG reading. Two more weeks for that.
