Hello folks,
I have a saison that just finished up primary using the new White Labs WLP670 American Farmhouse Blend. I haven't tasted it yet, but my suspicion is that it hasn't picked up much Brett flavor yet. White labs won't say what kind or amount of Brett is in the blend, so I don't know what direction this beer is going to take. I'd definitely like a bit of sour and funk if possible, but nothing overwhelming.
So, a few questions:
1.) Anyone have any results to share from using this blend yet?
2.) What kind / how long of secondary aging would y'all recommend? I'm assuming to let it bulk age in some glass and then bottle when the flavor seems right? How long might that take?
3.) How much will the Brett effect the flavor in the bottle as it ages? Will it continue to sour with time?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom. I'll post results when I have something to report.
