Bottling with Brett

jacksonbrown · 08-31-2009, 01:47 PM

I've got a Belgian I'd like to bottle with Brett yeast, but I have it in liquid form. Is there a way to do this? Do I need to filter out the other yeast, or am I just better off infecting the original batch and then bottle like I normally would?

I think you need to add the brett to the fermenter or risk bottle bombs. Bretty can consume sugars normal brewing yeast does not, so if you prime, add brett and bottle, you are asking for trouble. I fermented a tripel with chimay yeast, added brett, and some simple sugar. I plan to let the brett work for 6 months prior to bottling.

Oh, excuse me, I thought this was a Brett Farve thread

That was going to be my next question. If bottling with Brett Favre, should you allow extra time for him to say he'll come, cancel, say he'll come, then cancel again, and finally show up an hour before bottling at some other guy's house?

Some guys will tell you if the fg is below 1.008 you can add brux or claussenii with a normal amount of priming sugar and be fine. Most will tell you to use heavy champagne bottles if you use brett at all.

I do plan on using claussenii. But now I don't know if I want to use it on my Saison or my Belgian Golden Strong. If Saison I'll bottle it, if GBS I'll ferment it. Hmm.. decisions, decisions...

I just did a tripel with Brett-C. Thread here didnt seem to generate much interest.

If I do end using it to bottle the Saison, do I just pitch it in to the bottling bucket along with some priming sugar then bottle as normal?
