I found the fun flavors and mouth feel of brett trois fades over the course of a month or so. Unfortunate

I actually have stopped using this strain entirely. In the many pale ales I've brewed with it they start great with lots of fruit flavors and body and then keep drying out for the next several weeks until the beers becomes mediocre. Either way if it's not brett it is a sacch strain that does...

Full pound might be sweet or it might be amazing

The book is still open on whether it is a Brett or not, considering the contrary evidence comes from claiming someone's friend who is a postdoc at a university sequenced the strain, a task that is expensive and for sure not allowed by the University.

There is the Green Mountain Mashers and Burlington Home Brew Club. I am living in Utah right now though, better skiing, worse beer! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I'll be moving to Northern Liberties at the beginning of July. If anyone lives in the neighborhood we should meet up and drink some fine brew! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I never wash anymore. Just bleach some pint jars, then after you finish racking to secondary dump your trub into the jars and seal them. If you refrigerate they stay good for months and months but you will need to make a starter. If you don't refrigerate then it lasts about a week and you can...

I like nibs in secondary Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I just pitch one vial into a half gallon at 1.040 (like I always do), agitated it a few times a day, then pitch it after a week when there is a nice yeast cake, always works great and now I have four pint jars filled with the yeast. Brewing isn't all the rocket science we pretend it is Sent...

I've started doing stands starting at 180 and then the hops left in overnight as it cools all the way down...amazing! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

Please ferment into the 80s and report back! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I agree with dcp. I have racked onto it, no problems. Just treat it similar to a sacch strain, this isn't rocket science Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app
