I have a brett. L dosed trippel with oak cubes that has been sitting for over a year and a half now.  The pellicle is still floating on top.  I have read that it can sit there if it is in a stable environment for some time.  This is only the 3rd beer with bacteria that I have done and want to make sure I am not jumping the gun by bottling now?  Any thoughts?

I've bottled Brett beers after gravity is stable for a few months. No bombs yet, but I use heavy bottles to be safe. After a year and a half, you should be fine.

The pellicle is a biofilm. If it's been left to sit without bothering it then it's likely going to just sit there and not disappear or change. It's been doing a good job of regulating oxygen exposure like it should.

I'd say the beer is definitely stable by now although brett will continue to develop the flavor without pumping out more CO2. Give it a taste and see what you think. If it doesn't taste great now let it go a few months and repeat.

What's the gravity reading? How's it taste?

Let these two things always guide when you should rack/bottle/etc.

Thanks, everyone.  I will re-pitch some dried yeast and bottle soon!
