Beginnings of a pellicle on a cider with Belle Saison and dregs from Lindeman's Cuvee Rene Oud Gueuze.

Do you still have the images?I saved the page with images to my hdd almost exactly a year ago ago... here you go:

is that the same batch at different times? or two different batches?Here is my first unintentional infection.
that doesn't make sense... lacto would be the infecting organism, as opposed to brett, pedio, etc. a pellicle is the weird/cool surface stuff. pretty certain you have a pellicle, now the question is what is creating it. no way to tell on appearances alone...Not sure if it's a lacto or a pellicle.
may i suggest that you add a little brett, as an insurance policy. wouldn't take much, even the dregs from a single brett beer or sour would ensure that you have somerthing cleaning up in there in case it's pedio or something else that would benefit from the presence of brett.I'm just going to let it ride and see what I come up with.
Do you still have the images?
So... I've been making a jalepeno cream ale. I added 2x jalepeno 3 times so far, but the 3rd time, this pellicle formed within about 2-3 days. It's very "waxy" looking. The second pic is the waxy type pellicle sticking to the side of carboy.
Any ideas?? If it helps...this wasn't supposed to be a sour beer...
Any thoughts?....
Weird, that should have done the trick. I've had a kettle sour get a pellice after adding frozen fruit though, so I guess our normal processes for adding fruit and such isn't 100% foolproof.
This was the first one for me. It was on an Octoberfest. Should I just dump it?
Do all the bugs transfer over when they infect something nearby like that? Could they be stuck in my fermentation chamber forever?
You definitely caught something in there. I'd pull a taste and decide if you want to keep it.
