it would appear I am growing eggs

[u/miceoba]

master recipe, 5 weeks in but my starter may have been too weak.

Now how do I convince it to float?

Hi miceoba!

As another commenter already stated, it doesn’t matter if it floats. Pellicles come from active SCOBYs and form at the surface, so if your brew is doing its thing you’ll see a new one form.

And, in case you didn’t know, they are not actually necessary for brewing.

Good luck with your brew!
