Many answers can be found there. If it is not, post your question in [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk Milk The Funk]!
==My beer doesn't have a pellicle, what do I do==
Q: I don't see a pellicle, is my beer OK?
A: The presence or lack of presence of a pellicle are not direct indicators of a good beer. A Pellicle forms when beer comes in contact with oxygen. Limit oxygen by taking samples only occasionally and if you have access to CO2, inject your fermentation vessel after pulling a sample. See [[pellicle]] for more information.
==How long does a pellicle take to form==
