Pellicle Photo Collection

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I know many of you LOVE these sour beers, and I have enjoyed a Lambic now and then, but whenever I see these pics my only thought is, the person way back in history to drink from under that horrible mess must have been very thirsty and very surprised. <shuddering>

 

[sweetcell]

^ not sure about that... historically, ALL beers were sour so pellicles must have been very common.

and given the choice of drinking something healthy from under a layer of sludge, or drinking water that is known to make you sick... breaking through the pellicle would be the logical option.

 

[burninator]

Lambic-esque on blackberries, with a fresh pitch of Orval dregs when I racked it. 2 weeks in, just had to take a peek.

Mixed fermentation saison, prior to racking onto fruit (mango/wine-rehydrated dried apricots) and oak soaked in Chardonnay for almost a year.

I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get through this one. Right in the neck and an inch thick, at least. Lambic-esque thing.

There's been some gnarly ones lately, right on!

 

[WildDisplacement]

Not quite sure what gave it the reddish/purple hue but it's a 1 gal batch of my pale sour base fermented with HF Arthur dregs. 2-1 Pilsen/ Wheat malt

 

[BGBC]

Did a little racking and bottling tonight.

Racked and refilled my Brett saison solera:

Bottled some of the pull straight and blended a half gallon with a growler of leftover wild cyser from 2014:

I believe you have oxidation making it morph red/purple. Peculiar ain't it!

 

[mitchard]

Peculiar ain't it!

Pelliculiar, you mean?

Took a sample of my rye whiskey barrel aged sour stout tonight. Been in the barrel since August 25th. Tastes fantastic! The rye whiskey blends perfectly with the cherry flavors I'm getting from the beer. Already my best sour and its not even bottled.

I think you need a Milwaukee inspection camera.

For science.

So how much longer after this did the face-hugger emerge from the egg and latch onto you?

It was about an hour and a half. We've gotten along very well since then.

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

That last one looks like egg noodles. What do you have growing in there?

Lots of everything! At least 15 strains of brett plus who knows what type of lacto and pedio is in there. Fun stuff.

Just brewed an IPA with Bring On Da Funk. Have you sampled it?

 

[kramerica]

I have not sampled it. I did a Belgian blonde with Brett, I can't wait.

 

[kramerica]

I feel like I need to print this picture out and frame it. I love it.

[ArkotRamathorn]

Month and a half old eventually to become a raspberry lambic. Pitched a packet of Roselare, the bottle dregs from an Oro de Calabaza JP, a 500ml starter of Oude Tarte dregs from The Bruery, and there's another bottle of dregs but I can't remember now.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1456352795.832657.jpg
