One of the brews I was going to bottle this morning looks like it might have an infection but having never seen it before I thought I'd post up some pics and ask, it's like a powdery residue floating on the top.




It's a 1 gallon batch and I suppose the question is would you still bottle it ?
 
looks ok to me does it smell ok ? use a wine thief and take some from under the surface and taste it
 
just siphon down and leave the top bit in the bucket to be safe and store bottles in cardboard boxes and old towels around them just incase
 
Worst scenario: it's the best beer ever and you never will find out how to reproduce it again, because of that powdery residu that never shows up again :(
