Brett-L pellicle or some other infection?

Brewed this rye/wheat about a month ago with wlp001 california ale yeast

added 2oz. of simcoe pellets 1 week ago and found this today

this is the same beer with an english ale yeast

I'm thinking from what I've read I got the brett pellicle. No idea where it could have showed up since it was fine last week. Is 1 month in the primary too long? I was just going to filter the beer into another bucket right before I bottle.

Should I dump the beer or is their a method to saving it? I was just going to try to siphon all the nasty off the top filter it and let it sit for a day and repeat until it looked good to me. Would cold crashing it do anything? I don't want nasty beer but as long as its safe to drink theirs no way I could waste it.

Anybody have any advice I would like some input I was going to clean it in a couple of hours when I get off of work.

I don't know what the Brett pellicle is but, I would try tasting it. I would taste for it being rancid. If it's not rancid, rack it from the bottom and bottle.

...and no, a month in the primary isn't too long.

If it's Brett, it will likely eat through sugars that the Saccharomyces cannot, if you bottle it you could quite possibly have bottle bombs down the line. You might want to let it sit in the bucket for a while, checking the gravity every few weeks (Brett is very slow). Also, keep that bucket separate from your other fermenters so that you minimize cross contamination. Also, that bucket is now your new wild brewing bucket, it's pretty near impossible to clean that stuff out of plastic.
