==I have a question==
Q. I am new and want to learn more, or have a question.

==How long does a pellicle take to form==
Q: How long does a pellicle take to form?
A: There are many variables and there is no one. It's all about the yeast and bacteria involved, o2 exposure, and time. Depending on all this, you may also never see a pellicle form. In the end, a pellicle only means there has been some exposure to an unknown amount of oxygen. Otherwise, pellicles have little meaning. See [[pellicle]] for more information.
==Why did my lacto Lacto beer did not sour==
