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

[JulianB1]

A few pellicles (the mess on the left is the blowoff for a barleywine):

Here's an odd one from a brett strain I'm growing up:

I had that happen to a sour wort recently. It smelled aweful so I had to dump it. The pelicle came out like a thick, tough pizza crust made of ramen noodles. I still have nightmares about it.

Ha! yeah, this one might not go anywhere past the starter jar. It' pretty solventy in aroma. figured i'd let it go a bit and see. Have 20 isolated brett strains growing up, and hope at least a fourth of them are worthy of full batch ferments.

This is my sour with lacto from grains and dregs. I put a barrel stave in it and as you can see it broke the pellicle but then reformed.

I'm a sour brewing nub. How long do the pelicles take to form a crusty top? I've got 2 batches going right now that look a lot like the bottom right carboy in JulianB 's picture above (they've been going for about 2 weeks now).

Pellicles have been all over the place for me. For reference, in that picture the bottom one was brewed in November and has looked like that for a while, while the top corner one was brewed in October and has only just (maybe in the last month or so) taken on its current appearance. Prior to that it looked a lot like the others with the big bubbles.

In on this

our first attempt at a sour; basically a saison recipe with lacto

 

[ShawDeuce221]

Transfered a <insert style here> a few weeks ago that I primary'd with ECY Bug County, pellicle formed rather quick.

 

[JulianB1]

Pitched brett C. into my saison a week ago, things are already developing nicely:



Thinking I'll finish this one on peaches in a couple of months.

 

[Snarf1]

I shoulda topped this barrel off sooner. No acetic, so this beast is doing it's job, but I added 5 gallons beer today and will try and top off with wort Sunday.

 

[koopa1]

This years ECY01 pellicle at roughly 5 weeks....

This thread is hotter than two rats fornicating in a wool sock.

 

[DJPhresh]

Great thread & some really awesome looking pellicles.
The 1st picture is cultivated from a plum tree in my backyard. The nose on this is a beast. Patiently waiting to bottle this & send some to Jeff at Bootleg for further diagnosis.

This is a Westbrook Brett strain. This has done wonders in the past 2 bottling sessions.

Probably have 10 more carboys in various sizes with different pellicles. I ******* love wild beers!!!

 

[Snarf1]

Got a bung hole pic while topping off. I can't wait to be drinking this.

Soon...I need to brew the belgian blonde to blend this with and can get you a couple bottles if you want to try.

Base sour from first half of the above batch

More hot pellicle action.

 

[SourBrewer]

20 month turbid mash aged with cherry and rhubarb (pH 3.7), blended with a young golden single infusion (pH 2.9) to pH 3.4.

Only in a homebrew thread would this be acceptable.

Obviously you don't comment on pornhub videos

 

[drgarage1]

Racking my berliner onto cherries has led to my first-ever pellicle -- it's quite bizarre looking and hilarious, over the top of all the cherries rapidly losing their color into the beer. I'll try to get a snap tonight.

Pellicles are weird! Imgur isn't working in iOS 8, so here's the link to the Twitter post:

dude that **** looks ******* nuts!

Yeah, the red cherries make it extra gruesome.

 

[dimensionx]

Finally taste testing my first round of sours. Not going to claim homebrew whale status but overall I'm pretty pleased. Even the infected Imperial Oatmeal stout is pretty good! Weird, but good.
