Whats going on with this?

Brewed two 5 gallon batches of golden ale on the same day and fermented next to each other in my basement at about 68 deg. One vial of flemish red yeast in each with some s04 sprinkle on top. Two weeks later i opened both and found this. One was clear with a little yeast raft on top and the other i can only assume this is a pelicle of sorts. Some dry powder here and there. Both samples smelled and tasted the same. Same fg.

Can anyone tell me why such a difference?

How long has it been? Neither looks bad to me. Both look like you need to wait longer.

Different yeasts act differently.

Both have been in primary for two weeks and the same strain yeast was used.

Every fermentation is different, even if you use the same yeast or recipe. Both beers look good, so I'd seal them up and let them finish.

I brewed them to fill a 60 gal barrel with my club. Just hoping i didnt ruin everybodys hard work.

Yep those both look perfectly fine to me. I'm assuming you've taken readings to check for FG and tasted for any off flavors?
