If you reuse a keg you need to take it completely apart to clean it. I use a cobra tap and a separate keg for my sours and stuff a bottling wand to bottle them. I think I'm going to add to my...

Yes it may get "sick" at some point and don't worry the Brett cleans it up with time. I let it sit for 8 months or so then let taste tell me when it's ready and depends if I'm blending it or adding...

I don't take it out, I just leave it in and use them to inoculate the next batch. I always use cubes.

I would still use a solid bung so you don't need to keep an eye on your airlock. I've seen too many people let their airlock run dry when its a beer that sits for a year on then it would get way too...

I use a solid cork stopper like you would use for an air lock but no hole and cork so it's more oxygen permeable seems to work well for my Flanders thus far. If I had more head space like a 6gallon...

Pellicle, it will get larger, don't worry and don't touch it just let it sit for a few months at least. You won't recognize the fruit at the end.

You can sour wort to get something quickly which I do with a wheat beer that is real nice in the summer time. It's sour but not complex, you just need time for that. Brett often times only takes 4...

Bitter and sour are not good together. As suggested it can be good dry hopped. Pedio and lacto don't like the hops where Brett doesn't care. I've made IPA with Brett only but if I sour it I don't go...

Don't worry the bugs will eat the berries up without additional yeast. I put berries on half my Flanders batch a year later and they consumed all the sugars.

You may not get a pellicle and that's fine. You get it when it's exposed to oxygen. I've had some take months before one formed and others where one never forms and they all turned out great

After 4 months I have good Brett flavor and only gets better later. If your not adding pedio 6 will be fine. It seems I have good flavor at 2-4 months but it continues to meld and get better up to a...

3711 you don't ferment as warm. The 3724 needs to get warm and I get a nice peppery flavor from it while 3711 I start at 68 and let it free rise to mid 70's but I don't like it if it gets too warm. I...

My Saison is with pale malt. Keep it simple, I like some rye and a bit of Munich with saaz for hops with 3711. Great crowd pleaser that lighter beer drinkers will try yet beer nerds enjoy.

I did it similar and it finished around 1.014 when I pitched Roselare on it. Came out real nice but not very sour. Similar to Rodenbach maybe but if you like a stronger sourness you could add...
