White spots on Porter

You should be concerned you are in the wrong forum That being said I have seen a ton of weird looking crap in my fermenters. Relax!

 

Google the word "pellicle" and look at the images. If your white spots turn into that you have a problem. If they don't you're likely OK.

 

@bobthebrewer1208 what kellyst said and I like the pic of what I think is ginger baker.

 

Also Google "yeast boats in beer", these are normal.

I stopped paying attention to what the fermenting beer looks like. At best it looks a little weird and at worst it looks like something that needs to be dumped when in fact its still perfectly fine and normal. Establish sound sanitation, brewing, and fermentation procedures combined with tasting and smelling along the way go way further than sight. I probably have not seen the last 20 beers I've brewed between kettle and the tubing going into the keg.

 

Welcome to the forum! Got a picture of your porter?

You should go by taste. If it tastes good you should drink it regardless of infection. If it's infected you can just wack your gear and bottles with 1:10 bleach solution. Rinse rinse rinse, and use your equipment as you normally do.

If it does not taste good you should be concerned. If you can't drink it you should dump it. Hit your equipment with the 1:10 and RDWHAHB.

 

I got this in the last few batches I did. I was thinking about posting it up, but I'm too lazy to take pics. Very unhomogeneous yeast does look funny. Even after pulled it off into a mason jar it's still not layering.
