It super-attenuated (0.998), but the brett character is still mild.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672407110077541595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081751738815878503.post-565988277064965012014-08-16T13:20:04.742-04:002014-08-16T13:20:04.742-04:00...and just answered my own question: 100% brett....and just answered my own question: 100% brett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081751738815878503.post-54896319344301599082014-08-16T13:17:29.055-04:002014-08-16T13:17:29.055-04:00When do you plan on adding the brett?

Seven months later I bottled, and I didn't notice much in the way of contribution from the brett- maybe just a bit of fruitiness or something, but this could easily have come from the S-04.<br /><br />I'm not sure if the brett couldn't do much in the high alcohol, or didn't get a little funkier because I racked off the primary cake (which I am told makes for a cleaner "wild" ferment). Perhaps it will be a bit funkier after bottle conditioning (that is, if there is enough active yeast left to carb it after 7 months...).<br /><br />I've since started pitching the brett with the ale strain, and leaving it on the cake for the duration of the aging, but I don't have any finished product yet.<br /><br />- Dennis, <a href="http://lifefermented.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Life Fermented Blog</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
