What is growing in my Dubbel?

[TacoBrew]

Anyone care to take a guess as to what has infected my Dubbel that has been aging for the past 2 months? It was cleared with gelatin about a month ago and this just popped up this morning. I'm not quite sure what would have caused it...The only time I ever opened it was to take samples and I made sure to cover my thief in sanitizer every time.

I'll be sad if I have to dump this because the samples were extremely good!

Thanks

what does it smell like?

Beer, or Satan's taint?

looks fine to me.

Looks fine for a sour, maybe. That looks like a pellicle to me.

Well, if I can make it into a sour, that's alright, I guess. I'm just shocked that it's there at all.

 

[weirdboy]

It might not be a good sour. But if you have time and space to just let it sit in the corner for a year, why not?

I'm laughing my ass off. Don't know why that's so funny.

I don't see anything wrong. Don't dump, I get white floaties sometimes on my batches as well. Never had a bad beer from it.

give it another week and post another pic. If it's a pellicle, you'll know it by then.

What yeast did you use?

co2 bubbles?

co2 bubbles?

In this case, I'm not so sure. There's a fairly well defined border to the right, which looks like something growing outward. About 85% of the surface looks normal to me, it's that 15% on the right that looks like a colony growing, particularly the denser portion.

Ya I dont think it's co2 unless co2 is capable of forming two 2 inch diameter white bubbles. I'm just gunna let it sit a while and see what happens. Really wish my co2 tank arrived last week when I WANTED to keg it.
