Didn't realize it was that bad. Time to retire.

That film on top? Also do I bring to room temp before bottling?

That looks like hop residue. I think it looks okay. As long as it doesn't have a lactic acid smell, it is probably fine.

Doesn't seem that clear for something I cold crashed. This is about halfway through bottling. Did clear up bit after this.... https://youtu.be/1gqGy4r7pyc

Looks like a lot of hop matter.

When racking very hoppy beers, I sanitize a nylon stocking and a SS hose clamp and attach them to the end of my racking tube. This will collect about 90% or more of the trub/hop matter coming from my fermenter to my keg or bottling bucket. Then I just tip my keg/bottling bucket slightly as I pull the stocking out to allow it to drain as much as possible without splashing and get undue amounts of oxygen mixed in.

I just hope this tastes ok. Abv is very low so would suck if I can't stand to drink more than a few.

Help if I posted picture.

I dunno, this looks like the begunnung of a pellicle to me. The sour I just racked has the same look on top with isolated small bubbles and a slight film. That's how my other sours looks early on too

Maybe opening it up for so many pics let bacteria in
