Hey all,
Brewing a straight saison (1.055) w. a French yeast. once it finishes in the primary, I wanted to add brett in the secondary before bottling to give it a slight funk over time.
So some questions. Please chime in to help me with any or all;
1. Throwing off a lot of banana esters in the primary. Anything to worry about or will that get corrected over time?
2. Which Brett to add? Can I do dregs from a bottle? If I do dregs, should I culture them first?
3. How long in the secondary? Can I bottle before the Brett is done working? How fast/slow is it? My understanding is that it is quite slow. Can that occur in the bottle?
4. If I bottle before the Brett is finished, how many volumes of CO2 should I plan on that adding?
Thanks to all.
