A pellicle is a lumpy, slimy white film that is formed by some strains of wild yeast, notably brettanomyces, during fermentation. A film on your beer in the fermenter or the bottle almost always indicates an infection, unless you have intentionally added brettanomyces to your beer. Follow the instructions in the brettanomyces page for cleaning and replacing your equipment.
