I just had this happen to me, white flakey crust like paint, what a disapointment.Thought maybe it was from s-33 yeast from being new to it,shure was a great tasting one though i did a Dumone dupage clone, had the highest final gravity ive had 1.018 im use to 1.01's , i did mash high, also ive been getting mold around my plugs i think it was due to having a blowoff with a few other fermenters in a closed tub-cuz i dont like bugs snooping around. I noticed a small black dot with a fuzzy white surrounding in my airlock water also. \
I was going to scoop it but decided against and just stuck my autosiphone in quickly, i did see a few bits in my botteling bucket, guess ill keep these in a rubbermaid and refrige them after good carbonation.Instead of long conditioning them like all my others.
 
Had this same thing with my 3rd brew. Posted on here too. Got 2 bombs out of it. And had the same milky film in the bottles. Got them all to the fridge as soon as I could and they turned ok. I just have to pour them super slow.

How long did it take for the bombs?
 
I think the first one was around the 3 week mark. The second one was maybe 5-6 weeks. Woke me up. Lol
 
I was a little concerned for bottle bombs myself and only used a single Munton's carb tab in about half the batch. With that said both seem to be becoming semi-carbonated. That strange milky film has disappeared in nearly all of them now, leaving just traces of it. Probably all sank to the bottom. The beer is still quite good though
