If taking a sample or racking, gentle gently pierce the top of the pellicle with the racking cane or wine thief. If the pellicle does break up, don't worry too much. It will usually reform if oxygen is still present in the headspace. While packaging the beer, try not to disturb the pellicle too much and let because the clumps of the pellicle remain on the surface of the beer so that aggregates of particles do not can fall back into solution when disturbed, and can then get packaged transferred into the final productbottles or kegs.
