A pellicle is a film (or "velum") that can form on the surface of a fermentation. It is created by some types of yeast and bacteria, when oxygen is present.<ref name="MTF-pellicle">[http://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Pellicle Pellicle.] Milk the Funk wiki.

It should not be confused with [[mold]], [[kraüsen]], "[[yeast rafts]]", or films from oils. | A pellicle is a film (or "velum") that can form on the surface of a fermentation.
