film

I reracked my cider for the first time and after a month this Film just started to form on the top with some white spots in addition (the dark spots on the picture are from my broken camera). What should I do with this? Label it off and just bottle it as planned? Tasted some out the bottom...

This is my first batch ever. I used a storebought, pasteurized, 100 percent juice with a wild yeast starter I made from storebought apple juice and organic berries. A few days into fermentation I noticed stuff growing on top that smelled like yeast. What is it? My cider doesn't smell bad, it...

I'm about to bottle my Roggenbier and i notice that there is a slight white film over the top of the beer. For this batch I used White Labs Hefewizen IV yeast, which i have never used before. So my question, is this white film from the yeast, or, my fear, a possible infection? Just a side...
