    Re-pitching Flanders

    I have a Flanders Red that I pitched a year ago with WLP665 Flemish Ale blend (supposed to be similar to Roselare). I'm going to transfer it onto cherries pretty soon. When I initially pitched a year ago, I transferred it after one week to a secondary along with an ounce of oak cubes. I want...

    Need help fixing Orval-inspired beer

    I brewed this beer using Bastogne yeast for primary and Brett B for secondary. After 3 months the beer was tasting nice, so I dry hopped with 2 oz of Slovenian Bobeck (similar to Styrian Goldings) pellets, as per some recipes for Orval type clones. After a week I kegged and carbed for 2 weeks...

    What to do with my funky Scottish

    I am new to the "wild side" of brewing and need some opinions. I added Brett c to an under-attenuated Scottish ale (FG 1022 five months ago. The beer is at 1006 now and has a good level of tartness and "funk". It is just OK and seems to be missing fruit character. I could a) keg and see what...

    Kegging wild brew

    Hi all, I have a question for those who keg their wild beers. I carbonate and serve all of my beers on a 5-tap keezer. This will be my first Brett beer and would like to carbonate and serve it on the CO2 system, but I'm wondering if the Brett could infect the CO2 line and manifold (and...
