I'm not in to sour beers, never have been, never will be. I view a pellicle as an unwanted infection that I fear will contaminate future beers. I left a yeast cake under about an inch of beer for the last week. My plan was to use it again tomorrow to brew but yesterday noticed a pellicle forming and today it was huge. I rinsed the glass carboyr out outside with the hose and very slowly added cold water and about 2 cups of bleach to let it sit. What else do I need to do to prevent future infections in this carboy or am i screwed?
My plan is to let the bleach do its work over night, use a one-step cleaner or oxiclean, then star sans.
