Do I have an infection

 

[Cider123]

What was the recipe? Can you expand on what you did from a procedural standpoint?

 

[klaperruque]

IPA sat for 2 weeks it's was good. Racked it and add 2.5 whole simcoe and let sit for 2 more weeks. Opened and saw the bubbles

It's always tough to be sure from a picture, but I would say infected. I don't like the looks of those large bubbles.

Have you tasted it?

 

[klaperruque]

Yeah. It tastes good but I never tasted an infected beer.

Those bubbles look just like my sours... If it tastes good, bottle or keg it and drink it quickly! otherwise it may turn bad.

 

[Leithoa]

IMO, Yes. The bubbles look far to 'stringy' to be yeast. I've only had infections in my ciders but this looks similar to the white slick I had rather than your typical porridge-y krausen yeast bubbles.
Let some other folks weigh in before you do anything drastic.

Often times you can rack out from under it, hit it campden/K-meta and then repitch. There's also the bold option of letting it sit for a while and seeing how it turns out.

I ended up just bottling. The taste seemed good just bitter from the hops so we will see what happens. Thanks for the help
