Man, went to go check on a Belgian I brewed up tonight and found this:

Just kidding... That's my Brett Lambicus pellicle that's gettin' nice and nasty.

That doesn't look quite right though????





























Two can play at that game.
I'd ask for details, but I checked you blog. Sounds interesting, care to share any more about it?

Basis was I did what kind of amounts to a dubbel (I'd have to look up my exact recipe), split the batch, fermented with WLP500, then pitched onto a vial of Brett L. , no oxygen, no starter, at 1.012 for half of the dubbel.

That was back in February (2nd week?). I started noticing funk about 2 weeks after pitching, but in the last week here, it has really picked up. I couldn't help but take off the airlock and sniff and it's pure deliciousness. There's definitely a strong olfactory tang of acetic there.

Once the pellicle drops, I was planning on adding some oak for the sole purpose of recapturing the Brett.

Looks like space aliens are attacking the beer. I'll just stick to ale yeast thank you.
