Default What's that stuff in my carboy?

Howdy Everyone,

My 1st batch is now in 2ndary ferment in a 6gal. glass carboy.
It looks like a lot of purple yummy with a good "head" of fine
bubble on top. OK for that. What I'd like to know is this: There's
a thin line of milky film along about 3 or so inches of the top of
the bubbles and up againest the glass. Not much at all. But
only in that one spot.

Is this yeast ? Maybe precipitate from bisulfite?
It worries me a little because if it's bacteria I'm in trouble, right?
If it's yeast should I tip the carboy a little to try to work in down
into the juice or let it lie ?

Andrew
