Pellicle Photo Collection

[BrewinHooligan]

Wild yeast experiment that sat too long before stepping up. I made some starter wort and set it outside overnight to cool and catch whatever was floating around in the air. Left a little over a week and after the mold formed I decided to pitch it. Will try again soon.

Got a wicked pellicle on this Brett Brux Cider:

The Wallonian Farmhouse cider also has quite a pellicle developing, but more difficult to photograph because it is also growing up the sides of the carboy in the headspace.

ECY01 + dregs fro O'so Dwell on the Threshold

The Yeast Bay Melange

Oooh I hope my Melange Cider develops a pellicle like this!

i brewed this about two months ago and pitched roeselare. ive added dregs from two gueuze tilquins, oude quetsche tilquin, cuvee renee, and oude gueuze boon along the way and it smells really good.

First one is a de bom sour at a couple months. Pellicle is more bubbly than it looks but couldnt get a better angle. Next is a week ass pellicle on a RU55 clone. Last is a thing of beauty of a one gallon "starter" jug of conan and crooked stave dregs.

Haha I used ECY-20 and then added dreggs from RU55 a few weeks back.

Oh, ok. I'm glad you were able to pitch dregs from the real deal.

BGBC really hooked me up in a home brew swap. He provided me the recipe and knew i hadnt tried the beer so he included that in the swap.

I'm fairly surprised ive never had a snake in the basement but fortunately that is the carboy carrier shadow haha.

Just set aside some for me for an eventual future swap and we're good.

You already have a six pack with your name on it!

So I have a gallon of a mild ale that I put on dregs from a New Glarus Wild Peach in... October maybe? It took a couple weeks to get to this point and it's just kinda stayed like this. How do I know when it's "done"?

Gravity. Id give it another 4-5 months, check the gravity, leave it be a month, and if the gravity is still the same its probably ready.

My first pellicle...I hope.

I brewed a saison and added raspberries and brett to it. I'm hoping this white stuff on top of the raspberries is a pellicle. I didn't want to start another: Mold or Pellicle thread, so I figured I'd ask here. Mold or pellicle?
Thanks,
Mike

 

[skeezerpleezer]

^^looks like pellicle to me

 

[finsfan]

I agree, looks like pellicle. Mold typically is a dark color while pellicles are all white.

 

[Inkleg]

Just kegged my Saison Brett from under this.

 

[runs4beer]

A Simple Braggot that stalled a little bit to high for my liking so I pitched Brett. lambicus... That was about 6 months ago. Haven't touched this half of the batch since.

Sample was great actually. Big fresh peach aroma. Nice and tart from the 72 hr sour mash. No real Brett character yet but hoping it develops some funk with some more time.
