This is my first post in this forum, though I frequently find myself reading through the different threads.
I have an Irish stout sitting in the secondary fermenter. It was in the primary for 2 and a half weeks. It has been in the secondary for about two weeks (I plan to bottle it this weekend).
I keep this at my friend's house. Earlier this week my friend texted me a photo and a video of the fermenter. I've attached the photo, but the video file won't upload.
Reading through other forums I've seen that pellicle makes beer turn sour, but since this is the first time I've seen this (this is my 5th beer), I have never encountered it before and am unfamiliar with it. I've noticed most of the beers people have photos of are sour beers to begin with and they aren't worried about it. I've also noticed each person had their beers in fermenters for a longer stretch of time than the basic 1 week/2 week fermentation.
Will this be a bigger problem for stout? is this drinkable? what should I expect? will this get inside the bottles?
