That looks alot like what formed in my Gose when I pitched the Lacto. No fruit in mine, though. After active fermentation, it broke up into big chunks with some still floating on top.

I've had a similar non-fruit, protein blob in a flanders before. Looked like large handfuls of tofu mashed together.

 

[griddler]

A Gose that I brewed in August. Didn't like how salty it was so I decided to let the fermentation ride out for a while and mellow out a bit (fingers crossed).

Doubt the salt will fade, may need to blend some other non-salted brew with it.

Just curious how you rack off the fruit when you only have a half gallon and don't want tons of sludge? I never had much luck with wrapping the cracking cane.

This.

 

[WesleyS]

This.

Yep, I agree. Salty won't fade. Blending is probably the best option.

is that mold on top?

Nope, just some powdery white pellicle. This was just a little extra from a 10 gallon batch of sour brown, so I'm going to let it ride.

Good advice, indeed. I haven't taken a gravity sample in a few months. Going to do so soon and see how the beer is doing. Perhaps a dryer beer with a more lactic bite will favor the salinity more so than how the younger beer tasted in october.

If I were to blend it, would you recommend fermenting the new beer close to FG and then blending?
Pretty sure this would be my first stab at blending, though I have been interested in doing it for a while. Especially interested in starting a solera, but not with a gose!
But maybe that could be interesting..:hs::cross:

 

[thatjonguy]

Increased acid should definitely help the overall perceived saltiness. I would blend after FG unless you are thinking you want to krausen it. But you would still need to wait to bottle it. Especially if you are putting clean beer in a sour. You will get another fermentation when the bugs get a hold of the new neighbors.

Not a pellicle but a series of pics about 12 hrs apart of my latest 100% brett lambicus brew. Yeast was under pitched (straight from the white labs vial) but this certainly didn't slow down the Brett! First signs of activity after 48hrs

655 + wicked weed dregs updateView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1423832665.684299.jpg

 

[finsfan]

first two are from my brett brawl, took a final sample today before bottling next week. Pitched ecy34 and 3726 together, taste and aroma are fantastic.

Finally kegged this one after close to two years and man has the funk developed nicely.
