I've had a Belgian strong Ale in secondary fermentaion with the dregs of two different brett beers (Boulevard Saison-Brett & Ommegeddon) for three months.
How do I take gravity readings without damaging the pellicle?
It's growing, but still pretty thin.
Just go for it and hope it holds or reforms?

What kind of vessel do you have it in?

I'd leave it. 3 months isn't all that long in the life of brett. I just tried my next door neighbors beer that has been fermenting for 4 years, and it was amazing. Just give it some more time. When you do, though, you'll have to break through the pellicle and they don't always reform properly.

Leave it be.

Wait a year or two.
