I'm planning to start experimenting with alternative cultures this spring. I understand I'll need separate bottling equipment, tubing, etc. I'm lucky to have three glass fermenters, so I'm all set in that department.
Here's my question: I want to make a Berliner Weisse first, and after that try 100% Brett brewing--is it recommended that I maintain ONE set of separate equipment for use in ANY and ALL funky / sour beers, or should I have three bottling buckets (etc.) for sach., lacto, and Brett/other bugs? If I don't, after a while will I end up with a mishmash of Brett/Lacto/whatever bugs in my brews?
I'd hate to think that it would be impossible for me to brew a clean Berliner Weisse after brewing a Brett beer with the same plastic. On the other hand, there has to be a limit to the new equipment I acquire, and if it's not necessary, I won't duplicate.
Any and all input from funk/sour people is appreciated.
