My latest Oud Bruin's been going 7 months and never really got a pellicle. Just a few big bubbles that last a while and turn a little opaque. I've done at least 15 sours and never had this happen. Not concerned just :confused:
 
Sour with blackberries just shy of one year. The second one is a three month old sour pitched on the older ones yeast cake after seven months.

Pellicle on my Flemish Red with Grapes at 19 months after brewing. Started 3 gallons of a Westvleteren 12 clone diluted by half and pitched with stepped up dregs from and Oude Kriek and WLP530. 6 lbs of concord grapes added at 1 month and left for 6 months then transferred off grapes and dregs and left. Bottled today. Pellicle and liquor.

Was planning a couple days of souring and a boil but can't get myself to do it now. 11days...

100% brett sour blonde ale. Fermented with Brett B, C, L, lacto, pedio, and some dregs. It's at about 17 months right now. I never open this freezer because it's my "sour tank" and makeshift beer cellar...I opened it last week to get something special to drink on my birthday and the sun was shining in through the garage windows. It struck the carboy just right. I figured I'd better get a picture or two.

Is that a tiny wine glass, or do you have giant hands? :confused: :cross:

ps. It sounds absolutely delicious! Any tasting notes?

From memory at bottling:
Appearance: see pictures
Aroma: sour with hints of fruit, not clearly grape
Taste: Strong but not sharp acidity, bright fruit, minimal maltiness but noticeable Brett complexity, finishes with slight bitterness and a hint of astringency which has been decreasing with time.
I'm imagining when it gets some bubbles I'm gonna love it.

I think that is all for now. Will report back later.

As for size (which apparently matters), it is a tiny glass. ;)

First sour brew. KBS split batch in half. This half got roeselare blend. Racked onto dregs from almanac dog patch, cascade, and prairie.
HUGE amount of trub!! About 5-6 INCHES!
