Is this normal or infection?
I checked my ESB this morning after 4-5 days in the primary and it's looking a little odd. Does this look like the start of an infection or do you think it's normal for krausen dropping?

Does it smell bad? I had a batch get infected once and it smelled horrible.

I've seen odd stuff like that before on my beer.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

Re: Is this normal or infection?
Yeah this should be ok, I'm not too worried about it. I'll keep an eye on things though and I'll let you know how it is kegging time.

Looks fine to me, that's not an infection.
