    I fermenated my beer 3 days ago, and i went down to check its gravity and found a concering result. My beer has a very weird color. I opened the lit of the bucket and saw a thick layer of krausen, maybe infection i cant really tell.
    What do you think cause this weird color?
    I let you guys judge:

    I don't see anything worrisome in the links that work.

    Looks like yeast. Nothing unusual. Let it ride. 3 days is just the beginning.

    Does it smell funky?

    Yeast in suspension? Looks like what the doc drained from my knee after a cliff diving mishap

    Looks like your dr passed it off as a yeast slurry on the secondary market.
