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

I can only ask this 1 question before my brain tires...

if surface area ratio has nothing to do with it then why do smaller barrels diffuse oxygen into wort/beer faster than larger barrels?

Again, it is a permeability issue. Seal length versus volume not surface area versus volume. Just look at the comparison of a glass carboy and a plastic bucket with identical volumes.

Should we call in some experts with practical experience?

Just seeing this. Wow. First, there is a difference between oxygen exposure and dissolved oxygen in the beer. IMO brewers are waaaaaaay to afraid of oxygen exposure.

This dude would freak out of he saw what I'm doing in the punch down barrel:


and this was top kek:

I don't get pellicles on my sour beers, because I keep the ******* oxygen out of them. That, and they're only in the fermenter for 8 - 10 weeks.

But you're only doing punch-downs during the time when the fruit is fermenting, correct?

and this was top kek:

Ehh . . . you and I make different beers.

Yes, and then I lay a sheet of plastic over top and rest a hoop around it to secure it in place. slows down O2, but far from eliminating it.

Not pellicles, but still neat:

fauxLambic with 3F dregs at 15 months

Must have got to much oxygen in there

Haven't you learned anything from this thread?

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

You're doing it wrong SMH

Blueberry Saison

Looks like a blueberry crumble pie. Crunchy

 

[alanburtonwells1]

Mixed fermentation saison.

70/30 pils/wheat
OG: 1052
FG: 1.000
pH: 3.5
IBU: ~5
Wyeast 3711, Brett Lambicus, & Lacto Plantarum

This is the pellicle after a couple months. Not the sexiest pellicle but one nonetheless.

5 month old wild saison.
