This is such a big beer you can really take your time. Mine spent 1 month in primary and one month in secondary.
I just got mine in the carboy. Got 70% efficiency, not too bad for my second AG. This is a lot bigger beer than I have done before. How long should I let this sit in primary, secondary, and bottle?
what was the final recipe, im interested in making an RIS right after my IPA is done.
As a bit of a thread bump, I just entered this beer in my first ever competition. Best in show includes, among other things, a fermenter from Mini-Brew. Wish me luck!
Just took first place at our club Oktoberfest contest (only 12 entries, but hey!, that's two wins with this beer).
Only one bottle left Time to brew again.

Well actually there were 11 entries. There were a couple of really nice beers, but yours was the real standout! I had a feeling it was your RIS, as I remembered it from the meeting you brought it to.
It was good to see you there!
LMAO. I guess a guy can't tell a fish story around here
Yeah, it was good seeing you too Lars.
There was nothing fishy about your RIS, it sure left me wanting more! That would be a great camping beer, for cold nights around the fire. I'm going to have to try brewing a batch, switch it up from my usual oatmeal stout.
I hope you got a chance to try my agave cream ale, it was the top center tap. Nothing fancy, but I quite like it. Somebody else seemed to like it as well, I went home with an empty keg!
I think I might finally bite the bullet: I have a keg cleaned, and full of StarSan at home........ I think I might rack my Brett Razz RIS into a keg finally. It's been aging since Feb.
Wish me luck. And if I never return, the Brett probably went sentient, and used me for a host body in its quest to take over the world. You can play "boot-cockroach-nuclearbomb" for my brewing equipment - AFTER swmbo gets her pick.
Nope, never used it before, and this isn't even a cultured yeast, it just popped up on its own. It's been primaried in plastic this whole time. But pictures / smell seem to indicate it's purely Brett, and not anything else. It's had a VERY healthy pellicle, the whole time.
I'll be double-Oxy-Cleaning the keg after the beer is into bottles, and all the BMBFing gear will get soaked and scrubbed as well. I'll also be replacing the O-Rings after the keg is empty, to be sure. (I bought in bulk from McMaster, so I have 300 Post o-rings, 200 dip-tube O-rings... but only a couple lid closure rings left.)
Any updates on this? Anybody won any competitions? Anybody still have any left?
