Does this look infected?

[beerdrinker]

This is an ale a few days after primary fermentation is complete,it had a layer of yeast(i hope) floating on top which didnt happen on my last couple. I had to put a blowoff tube(forgot to steralize ) on it. I used WLP 001 with it. Do you guys think it is infected? Tastes ok, cheers

Looks fine to me. What about it looks infected to you?

[beerdrinker]

sweet it just looked to have a heaps thicker than normal layer on top? my other ales (using us56) have had a thin layer on top? Had half a cup of it come out of the blow off tube,must just be yeast floating on top

Yeah liquid yeast are a different animal all together. Looks like a very nice ferment you have going there! Hope you did not infect it by taking the photo

I would use it a couple more times to get my moneys worth!

Thanks Kev im relaxed now Have never seen something ferment like that! The lid is even covered with it I took the pic after i transferred the beer to secondary.Do most liquid yeasts behave differently? cheers

Still looks like good healthy yeast to me...

I've done about 7 or 8 brews with WLP001, and it looks perfectly good to me.
I love that yeast, and it makes a great pale ale.

Good for American Amber Ales as well!
