Always get a pellicle in bottles

[Twinkeelfool]

Hey guys, all my Brett beers end up with a pellicle in the bottle after a few weeks. It doesn't stop me from drinking them, but I'd like to know if there's any way to reduce the chance of this happening?, or is it just one of those Brett things where it does what it wants? Haha

I suppose you could purge your bottles with CO2... Otherwise, that's what it does. The little bit of oxygen you get from bottling and in the bottle headspace causes it. I have the same issue. They go away after awhile.

Yep, same problem... If you want to call it a problem. My sours/brett beers tend to do the same thing. Time and temperature drop it out of sight and the beers always turn out amazing. I wouldn't worry about it.

Bottling from a keg? Or bottle conditioning?

Bottle conditioned mate. As I mentioned it doesn't bother me, just one of those things I wonder about.

as mentioned above, unless you rack and bottle in zero-oxygen conditions, bottles pellicles are to be expected. i don't get them all the time, only most of the time

Given time it will fall out
