Hey all,
So I brewed up about 7 gallons of KingBrianI's Common Room ESB nearly three weeks ago (8/19/12) and racked it to secondary on Sunday. Needless to say, I checked today and it was forming a pellicle in the secondary. W T F? I took a sample and it tastes GREAT! Way better than the last sample about a week ago. I am going to blame this on my siphon hose, and hope it didn't infect my next batch. As this is done fermenting and essentially just in secondary to clarify, would any of you recommend bottling tonight??? I really want to save this batch as it really tastes and looks awesome.
I'll post a pic shortly, but to describe, there are sporadic bubbles (like pizza dough) and the surface is wax-like. Almost like parchment paper.
Here:
Thanks!
