This is the pellicle on my Oud Bruin at 2 months.
My latest wild innoculation (From the cellar), scotch ale base was at 8.24% when the pellicle formed, this one will be interesting as it's the first higher abv brew I've infected
Was this an accidental inoculation or purposeful? Looks like a health strain whatever it is!

Have I just joined this club? What does everyone recommend I do here? Lacto?
Its a big American Stout that has been in 2ndary for like 5-6 months, for various reasons including laziness and not wanting to waste a keg on a stout I wont be drinking in the summer anyway. Maybe I should siphon form under ther film and bottle? Ive not tasted it yet bc Im worried about contaminating my siphon.
Should I move this fermenter to a different room? It happens to be stored in the same small room as my mash tun siphon, siphon tubing etc.
I really dont want to have to replace all my equipment.
Would this be a lacto? . .....
Sorry to be a bit off-topic here, but we seem to have accidentally created a pellicle in a couple of unrelated beers we've made over the last couple of weeks - stout, fall pumpkin and an Irish red. What exactly is it that creates the pellicle and how could we have accidentally created one? I'm guessing we have a sanitation issue, but we're just looking for where it could have come from. Thx!
something a little different here - I made a batch of cider from pasteurized, unfiltered juice to which I added red star montrachet yeast and dregs from a couple bottles of basque cider. about a month later I went to rack the cider and found this (along with an intense funky aroma):
Is that pellicle blue???
Update on my Oud Bruin Pellicle. Bugged in May, so it still has a lot of time to go..
ironic indeed! here's one of what must be lacto on some wine grapes that i pitched a packet of S33 into a week or two ago; very young. there have been a few pics that looked very, very similar to this growth.You just managed to scare someone in a pellicle thread.... Well done sir.
