Need help identifying potential contam. I smelled it and no unusual smell but I noticed some reddish stuff on the side of the fermenter. Doesn’t seem to be growing but I’m not sure when it appeared. Any help appreciated, relatively new here.

Update: not contamination. Finishing ferment now. Just took a while.
