Slimy film on surface

[sictransit701]

I can't get a good picture, but I had a clear, slimy film on the surface of my beer. It attached down the wall of the carboy as I racked to bottling bucket. I guess I'll have to wait and see, but has anybody had this before?

Was this a beer with a lot of hops? Hop oils?

Not much hops. Belgian Dubbel. Wlp500. Got a slow start. Pitched at 66. Rose to 70. Hopefully nothing else got started before the yeast.

Was it semi-solid like a pellicle or mother?

Did you notice a funky or sour smell?

 

[sictransit701]

Smells good. Don't know how to tell if it is semi solid. Don't know what a pellicle or mother is.

If it tastes fine, just proceed as normal Just make a note in your records in case something develops in the taste.

It doesn't take much oil to form a film across the surface of a liquid, it may have been from anything, probably food grade oil, so don't worry.

I've had that slight film on top of my dry stout I made my Whiskely with. As I siphoned it out of the BB, the film migrated to the sides & stuck, leaving clear beer.I'd used the BB as a secondary for the oaking process.
