Pellicle Photo Collection

I know, I can't wait to taste the finished product. It is the best pellicle out of 41 gallons of different sours.

Time to get something else started...

Dark Ale with Brett L and Cognac'd Cherries.

Anybody have any ideas? There were large bubbles on the surface before I disturbed it for a gravity sample and removed it from the swamp cooler. It is Yuri's Thunderstruck pumpkin ale recipe. The yeast was Windsor.

Looks like cottage cheese

what's it smell and taste like?

Looks like giant chunks of flocculated yeast to me.

Hard to tell yet. Today was first gravity and tasting. 1.024 and maybe a slight sourness. That may just be in my head though.

I am hoping so. I like sour beers but when it's planned. This isn't planned.

Kriek beer after a few months.

Kriek beer after a few months.

wow, i'm liking the looks of that! is that a bucket and a oak chair-leg?

 

[Waylit]

It's a plastic bucket and a stave of hungarian oak.

 

[Vaughn]

That Kriek has some nice lacto bubbles. Why did you go about adding the cherries for the entire aging process?

This is another batch of Belgian Single I have going with Rosealare and WLP500

Here's the beginning of an ECY20 Pellicle. I will simply edit my post as the pellicle progresses. This photo is at day 4.

^Why so much headspace?

 

[smokinghole]

I had a brew pump mishap and decided to still split the batch. I didn't have anything smaller than these 5 gal fermentors. I typically ferment 8ish gal batches in a 10 gal fermentor so I don't have to worry too much about blow off. The krausen still got decently high on these two and I was glad I had the huge headspace.

Best thread on the internet.

Thought I would post an update on my Flanders that have been aging on currants for a few months now.....

Here is a look inside my oak barrel with a mix of wild dregs and some Brett B.

 

[Airborneguy]

Just a starter, but I love it! It will start working on a Berliner Weisse saturday.

 

[rebel80]

This is my first sour :rockin: I pitched Brett L. onto a boring pale ale (made at a homebrew demo at the local farmer's market) and 3 lbs of blackberry puree. The pellicle is coming on strong!! Has anybody else ever noticed the stringy precursors that showed up on the inside of the carboy almost immediately? I have never seen them on any other fermentation so I assume this is a characteristic of wild yeast?

 

[edecambra]

Here is my first ever pelicle, robust porter with tart cherries and white labs belgain sour mix 1 after only 2 days!!!

and some activity beneath, the air lock is bubbling pretty strong too.

The stringy stuff is fine. Need to check my wild brews book, but it talks about it, oily is lacto, stringy might be pedio or the brett

I just realized I never posted the pellicle on the batch I made that starter for:

 

[FromZwolle]

that looks like the shy side of Betty White.

Pellicle in 5 hours. I brewed 10 gals of Berliner Weiss yesterday and spit into 2 carboys. 1 got a 1L homemade lacto starter using warm water and a cup of raw grain, the other got a 1L starter of White Labs lacto. The homemade has taken off in just a few hours...
