Hi all and a Happy New Year

I’m new here and it is my second beer I ever brewed.

It is a Lager from Wilco kit and all equipment have been sterilised before , starting SG was 1.042

Beer been set 7 days ago so before yesterday I decided to take a SG reading and it was 1.012 ,I noticed that there was a white foam on the beer.

Today the SG are 1.010 and the white foam are rebuilt ...
I’m worried that my bed have been infected and I wasted it.

Please check my attached pictures .

Looking forward for any advice from you guys.

Kind regards
AJ

Sounds like there is still fermenting so just leave it alone. If it is Krausen it will drop out. It does look like pelicle though. If it is still there just rack off from under the pelicle
 
Will be ok
Same thing happened to me and the guys advised me to rack off when fermentation is finished.
It came out perfectathumb..
 
Thank you all for your quick reply and help.
I really hope it is just a finishing of fermentation ( krausen ).
It taste like beer so I will leave it for few mmore days.
Hope it will ve fine.

Thank very much!
