I usually keg, but 6 months ago I bottled a Flanders Red.  I went to put one in the fridge today in anticipation of a nice sour beer and noticed some floaters.  This doesn't seem normal, but since I've only ever kegged sours this may have happened on all my batches and I would never have noticed.  Any words of wisdom/caution?

I did check a few other bottles and some have it and some do not.  Could it be my sanitizing practices were lacking and I have a mold problem?

Likely you introduced some o2 during bottling. Several of the organisms in a flanders culture will produce some sort of floaty. Generally pellicles are produced as a barrier to additional o2 dissolution so if some bottles got a little more air than others you might have pellicle form in some and not others.

I had the same thing happen in a batch of Flanders Red.  It is likely just a pellicle reforming.  Just pour carefully.

Normally it will go away in a week or so. If it doesn't then don't worry. There's nothing wrong with drinking a little pellicle.

I normally get a few spots to a full-on pellicle in my bottled sours, especially when bottle-conditioned.

I went ahead at tried pouring slowly and left as much pellicle in the bottle as possible and it tasted nice and tart.  Thanks for all the responses!
