My Mead My Mead ???

What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Pectins Afloat?

You may have an infection... or maybe what you are seeing are floating wax that was briefly solubilized and has re-coagulated and risen to the top. Use sensory evaluation... smell funny?... taste funny? Otherwise the only way to know what is floating is using a microscope.
