Hi to all. I have a problem. I thought I would have a go at making pear and apple cider. Fermenting went well, bottling was fine. After 3 months in the bottle I noticed pectin haze, but it tastes ok and the alcohol is high enough that I can't see it after a bottle or two. 7 months after bottling and the cider has formed a thin black skin on top, which stains the bottle for 3-4mm above the skin. What is it?
