Help - infection?

[Xander]

Can anyone tell me if this is infected? It's my first brew, so I'm not sure of what to expect.

Hopefully the photos work!

Cheers

Looks normal for a brew that has fermented out.
What does it taste like?

Looks O/k to me, why do you think it's infected.

Haven't tasted yet. It smelt a bit funky as soon as I lifted it, but now it's fine.
Should I just bottle it and hope for the best??

If you lift the lid you cop all the co2 and a concentration of fermentation byproducts.
You also make the possibility of infection greater.
Pour a sample into a hydrometer tube and smell and taste that. Should be like yeasty unconditioned flat warm beer. If it's sour or medicinal or like nail polish, something is wrong.

Looks perfect to me.

I tasted it and it all seemed fine.

All bottled. Looking forward to knocking one back in a few weeks.

Thanks for your help people! Much appreciated.
