I'll show you mine if you show me yours (pellicles)

Bunch o dregs into a saison started out like this.

Put the beer onto 10lbs of peaches and turned into this. Bottled it a week ago, can't wait for the results.

Took the slurry and dumped it into a new saison batch. Will be bottling soon.

And yes, these are in buckets (some people have a problem with that?). Haven't had a problem, the culture and fermentation temps have been rocking at producing some tasty beer.

It's pretty crusty looking. But it smells awesome.

This is such a cool thread. I got nothing to contribute except my sincere thanks to everyone sharing these great shots.

My phone's camera focus is kind of ****** but here's a couple shots of my dirty dozen berliner, first one is still in the original carboy and second one is on a pound and a half of blackberries.

Sad to disrupt this beautiful thing. Alas, transfering to two separate carboys for fruit additions on Friday w BrandoSF.

Holy ****! Mine does not look like that at all, over a month old and barely a film on the surface yet.

Means you have less oxygen getting in? Not a bad thing.

True! My desire for pellicle porn overcame my logic, forgive me.

 

[jivex5k1]

Yeah, it's a bit of the starter that I saved and just fed.

 

[ShawDeuce221]

These beers were pretty dry when transfered and/or pretty dry in general so they dont have the good bubbly pellicle pictures rrrybody used to.

This is a blend of the POS TBHC beer that I made that I didn't know what to do with the rest of and a pilsner that I had sitting around that got my bugs and WLP648 brett trois vrai

This is an extra gallon of a beer I put way too many blueberries into and needed to store it for a bit

And this is the blueberry beer...I know, it looks like mold. It's not.

Hooray, my first pellicles! All grain saison with Yeast Bay Saison blend and Fantôme and 3F dregs. Split it into 4 separate carboys 34 days ago to experiment with extra Brett C and dry hopping.

Hope you guys are purging with CO2 when you are taking those "through the bunghole" pics.

Why? If the pellicle is covering the entire top of the beer it's not getting exposed to oxygen. I've never had a problem.

A pellicle is NOT a protection from oxygen. It is a reaction TO oxygen.

 

[FTowne1]

I get that. But if it's already formed it's not letting more oxygen reach the beer.

Incorrect. Oxygen is still diffusing into the beer even if a pellicle is present, because a pellicle does not protect a beer from oxygen ingress.
