I'm confused when it comes to Brett fermentation and what the best practices are for bottling. I have a Tripel I would like to put into a secondary fermenter with Orval dregs, and I have a vial of WLP670 American Farmhouse Blend I'd like to use in a saison. I'm not sure how I would know when either beer is finished and when to bottle (in regular bottles). Some threads say to wait until the pellicle drops, some folks say they rack from underneath the pellicle. I certainly understand the concept of waiting for the gravity to stabilize, but Brett in secondary seems to work so slowly that I'm not even sure what timeframes I should be looking at.
Above all, I am interested in avoiding bottle bombs from bottling too early.
Any advice?
