  Great recipe with great results. thanks. Pulled first pint after 2 weeks in carboy and 1 week

  Used brett L (wyeast) for my first all brett beer. Fermented quick, from 56 down to 16 in a few

  I already have towels and big puffy down-winter jacket wrapped around it- just to make sure it

  Back down to room temp. Which in this case is 60* right now in the basement during late
  winter/early spring. I guess I'm gonna hear I need to jack up the temp?

  brett head start) and flushed the headspace with co2. It seemed like the one of the yeasts

  Recently did an all brett golden ale- much akin to "the muse" by saq, with some minor changes.
  Stepped up starter using WY Brett Lambicus. Stepped up starter from 500ml to 1L then to 2 L.
