Pellicle?!

[thomasben]

Typically in wild beers when does the Pellicle form?

[nateo]

Whenever it wants, man. It's wild.

Seriously though, I've brewed beer with wild yeast that never formed a pellicle. Are you just talking about wild yeast, or are you using bacteria as well?

I have isolated 3 wild yeasts. All three formed pellicles in primary cultures and by the third passage only one of them still readily forms a pellicle. With time though, all three form pellicles whenever they feel like it. So... yeah man, it's wild and does what it wants!

Used jolly pumpkin dregs and then the old ale + brett c private collections

Seeing them form as we speak
