I have an idea, but not sure how good the actual beer would be. I'm thinking of getting a 14g conical. What I'd do is brew a 7-10 gallon batch (simple "lambic" type beer), pitch some neutral ale yeast along with a couple of brett strains. After a few months, draw off a few growlers, brew another batch and add to conical. Repeat. If it needs a bit of fruit (some tart cherries, maybe) add those, etc. I'm thinking this could be an very interesting experiment. I could age the growlers or just drink them.
Currently, I draw a glass or so from my 5 g batch of kriek (using wyeast's blend) every month or so and just drink it "flat." It's very nice, but needs more time. I'd like to scale this up, but just using Brett (I can only drink the lacto in small doses.)
Thoughts?
