Hi everyone, I bottled a brew a couple of weeks ago, but before I did, I took the lid off the keg for a look (not sure why). I noticed that there was a white film on top of the brew, kind of like tissue paper. I bottled the brew anyways.

My question is, is it safe to drink? It does not smell off, I poured some in a glass the other day and it did not taste off (although it was warm). In the necks of some of the bottles, it looks like there is a little sediment floatin gon the top. Seems a shame to waste a whole batch-especially since I don't have anything at the moment...

Thanks for your help,

John

You will know in a sip if it is infected - it will taste wrong.

Chill it, taste it, if it tastes like beer you should be ok.

Cheers,

Greg.

Thanks greg, that's what I thought, just needed someone else to back me up. The best thing I guess is that if I get to sick, I can blame the brew rather than the amount.....

The white film could just be a yeast by-product. Probably nothing. As Greg said, one sip and you'll know

I get and put it off as a late infection. It never seems to affect anything so likely I am mistaken.

It doesn't form in a CO2 rich environment
