I have a beer I just bottled. Used 500. There is something going on on top. Didn't taste bad. But it in bottles and now something is happening in the bottles but it still tastes aight. IDK. It probably has nothing to do with the yeast strain but you asked.
No it's not. It's not my first brew.

Looked like this. I bottled it and at day 3 I started to see some in the bottles.
Braufguss said:That, my friend, is a pellicle. It is not a Saccharomyces based strain, but most likely a Brettanomyces based strain (and possibly some other guys in there too!). I had a Wyeast Lambic Blend that looked like that for a while before it formed huge (3" diameter) white bubbles in the fermenter.
Could make for an interesting brew!
And so as not to thread hijack, Dirty, I believe you are talking about soft plastic parts, not plastic fermenters and Brett strains, not Sacc strains. Unless you can post the article...

ReverseApacheMaster said:Congratulations, you have lactobacillus. Unless you intentionally pitched it, you had a error in your sanitation process or you infected it with something after fermentation.
I think plastic fermenters can also be a problem, but I'm not sure if Russian River is still using them or not. Did find this link where he mentions not wanting to ferment brett before because he was using plastic fermenters. I'd think he'd be in stainless steel by now!
