Zoomed in dusty pellicle on an "American Wild" that got a slurry of sour dregs. At a year old it still has a pretty nice hop aroma from a Zythos FO addition.

your image doesn't show up... sounds like a nice one, tho. please re-link/re-upload/etc!
Here's a couple pics of my most recent attempt at what old saisons would taste like. It's pils and spelt with aged leaf hops and some serebrianka to 20ibus with a starting gravity at 1.037.
For size reference sake that's a 16 gal Speidel fermentor. The little brown blocks in the top down picture are small "Innerstave" oak additives and they're about 4" long for additional size reference compared to that mother of a snot bubble.
wow, impressive! don't think i've ever seen such a heterogeneous pellicle... sweet.

This is my first sour. It's just about a week away from being a year old.
I don't think this batch blew-off. I'll make my assistant clean the floor again before we brew again.
Here is my Kriek after 18moz, 8lbs of cherries sitting underneath that pellicle. This is a house sour culture that came from one of my Blue Spruce trees in the side yard.
Yum, mash pellicle!
Looks awesome, how long was that sour mash?
