Hi there, I have a perry currently in the secondary fermenter. There is a white film forming on the top. I've read about the possibility of it being film yeast, but from the pictures I've seen, it doesn't look the same. Any thoughts? Am I screwed?
For what it's worth, I have a pear tree in my yard. All I did for this was grab a lot of pears, put them through my juicer, and then pitched yeast into the primary. I was stupid and added campden tablets right away, and pitched the yeast right after. It seemed to not be an issue, and I definitely got fermentation.
After a month or so, I put it in the secondary. I had pectic enzyme in the secondary for when I transferred it. Now, it seems like this film is forming and I have no clue what it is...
Thanks
