Hello,
I have a batch in the works with a strange sort of white skin on the top. This first showed up almost immediately after the initial combination of honey, water, and sulfite, before the yeast was added. The skin/bubbles disappeared for a short time after transfer to the carboy, and then re-formed inside as seen in the photographs below. I have read several forum posts on various sites, but as most of them did not have photographs I can draw little useful information from them.
Does anyone know what this is? Is this an infection, and if so is there anything I can do about it?
