My 1st infected brew?

[dweb]

AG Kolsch style brewed 3 weeks ago and has been in heated fridge @20oC.A bit high I know but I`ve done 3 previous kolsch beers and they`ve been 10/10.
Anyway,I had to keep it in for a week longer than usual as I had a wee accident with my gas tank regulator,,so I wouldn`t have been able to purge o2 from my keg,so I thought a week extra will do no harm.
I got the regulator sorted today and opened up the FV and here`s what`s in it-

It smells fine but there`s weird looking **** floating.
Drain job?

It's not easy to tell from a pic but it doesn't look like an infection to me. Sometimes yeast clumps on the surface and take forever to drop out. If it smells and tastes fine I'd keep it. The most common infections are aceto or lacto and they should be fairly obvious.

This is a picture I just took of my lambic to show you what an infection looks like, sorry bout the crappy pic.

That looks OK to me, taste it that will give you a better idea

Looks like break material floating on top.. Had it a few times.. Should be fine

Looks totally fine to me. You have a cold break sitting on top of your wort with some yeast. You can siphon through it or wait a bit longer and it will drop (I would do the former in this hot weather). That is my opinion anyway having had brews exactly the same in the past.

Update..
I`ve drank near half of the keg and it`s perfect!
Only problem I have now is,my CO2 has ran out and Iv`e no idea how to source some more.
