==I have a question about pellicles==
-See our [[pellicle]] page! Many questions can be answered there.
Q: I don't see a pellicle, is my beer OK?
A: Although we recommend trying not to disturb the pellicle too much during sampling or moving the fermentation vessel, doing so isn't the end of the world. It will reform if oxygen is still present. If it happens, don't worry about it.
Q: I bottled a beer and now it has a pellicle. Is the beer ok?
A: Yes (assuming your beer intentionally had pellicle forming microbes). Pellicle formation is not uncommon in bottled beer. It is possible that the beer was exposed to some O2 during transfer/bottling, prompting pellicle formation. It is only an aesthetic issue and will go away over time, and you can induce this by disturbing it (gently shaking/inverting the bottle).
