I'm pretty sure the horizontal fermentation helps.

sddanc said:Does a pellicle form in the presence of O2? I racked a berlinerweisse atop a Brett B Trois cake and it hasn't begun krausen. But a pellicle is starting to form and there is no pressure in the airlock.
So this is my Belgian blonde with 100% Brett. Pellicle? Started 3 months in!

tuna84 said:This is some weird snot like substance forming on top of my secondary that started appearing the day after adding oak chips. I had initially soaked the oak chips in 37% alcohol rum for only 20 minutes. In hindsight that definitely wasn't long enough, next time ill be steaming them. The brew smells great still and is tasting very good so far. No vinegar, sourness, weird smells. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Is this normal for oak? seepage from the oak itself? The alcohol content of the beer is around 5.4%.
The brew is an oak aged pale ale using london ale yeast.
Also when disturbing the snot like piece rather than act like goo as i thought it would, it just broke apart/dissolved into the surrounding mixture quite easily.

iowabrew said:Finally I can add. All Brett L ferment. 1 month in ready to bottle soon! Nice cherry notes and slight funk. Re pitch is in order for sure!
Sour Blonde, brewed May 23rd, pitch US-04, on May 29th I racked to secondary and added a packet of Roselare. This is what it looks like now.
And the Saison progresses...
Is that in a bucket? I never really got a pellicle on my ECY03 batches I only ever got a slight film.
