Just moved my second homebrew, a pale ale, to the secondary. After a few days I noticed a white film forming on the inside of the carboy. It is mostly on the bottom but seems to be creeping up the sides now. Any thoughts on what it might be?

I once read in a university that yeast tend to stick more to the side of a carboy when missing some nutrient...

I cant say that i experienced it but if it happen everytime i would try to put some yeast nutrient and see if it stop :eek:P
