when i racked off the blueberries a week after i saw this growth, the SG was like 1.001 and has since dropped to .9998 - lowest i've ever seen.
9 month old flanders red. Primary with cultivated la roja dregs, secondary with roeselare blend, fantome dregs, and whatever else i've added over the past 9 months that i can't remember
That's a nice picture, I just can't tell what is going on in it. Are you in a submarine? are you sideways or upside down?
Man, seriously why all the blue and darkness?
haha, i should have explained. It's in the dark with an LED light shining on the beer. It's at the neck of the carboy, big bubble/pellicle with the white stopper directly above. The carboy is filled nearly to the brim.

Click the BW Brewing link at the bottom for a few of the barrel shots. My wife doesn't even want to know!

How do you prevent cross contamination?
Here is my first pellicle, and that is just my starter. It is White Labs WLP650 Brett B. I am pitching it into an all Brett B Brown tomorrow.
Adding my pic to this thread
it was supposed to be a session pale ale, not sure what to call it now
OG 1.042
FG 1.001
Its about 6-7 week old now
I take its its a lacto?
Might want to taste a sample before going through the trouble of bottling. That's a beautiful pellicle, BTW.
excellent thread guys!
Mods: This should be stickied in the lambic/wild forum. Very, very useful.
Bump. Mods??
bump. Mods?
think i'm going to bottle it tonight. i got two glass carboys, and 1 bucket.
Not sure if i want to move this to another one of my fermenters.
I got a ton of 12oz bottles i can put this in and toss away and not worry about cleaning them. my concern is trying to make sure this infection doesn't spread to other stuff.
hope it tastes good.
+1, Mod's?
This thread might be the best compendium of beer infections on the web. And growing. Be a damned shame if it got lost and forgotten in the nearly 250,000 other threads on this site.
tasq said:I wouldn't bottle that. You're just begging for bottle bombs at that point. You're in for the long haul most likely. 6+ months if you want the gravity to be stable.
Don't say I didn't warn ya!
I don't think it will get much lower than 1.001. I'd bottle it.
Threw some grain dust in 3 gallons scottish ale base, lacto I guess?
Initial innoculation was the juniper yeast
+1, mod's? Maybe because the op is not a paying member?
olllllo said:just so everyone knows, typing "mods" or "admin" in your thread does not activate the hbt superfriends klaxon of justice.
We either stumble upon it or don't.
We're all sequestered in monte carlo for the summer mod conference this time of year and we don't like to get out of the chaise lounges until it's time for baccarat and cocktails.
