Howdy,

First time doing the coopers Family Secret Amber ale tin + Amber extract liquid malt

This is day 3 of ferment and not sure if its infected or not, some weird spot in the middle what i haven't seen before in a batch, also a little around the sides

cheers

Hey d_m, This looks perfectly normal to me.  You will get some different foams, creams and consistencies in the Krausen's of you brews.  Some will make you think you beer is ruined.  In this case no.  

You might have folks berate you for lifting the lid.  You should not do it often, but if you do it gently, it will be fine.

Looks like just a normal Richard the 3rd floating around, I wouldn't worry too much

Ah good to know, thanks.

I lifted the lid to get the photo because of all the moisture in there and this is actually the first time ive done it while its been fermenting and it created 2 or 3 big bubbles haha oh well.. lesson learnt

Just so you know, as long as you have good sanitation practices, infections are rare.
