So my 2nd kettle sour i pitched Wyeast Lacto in a 6 gallon batch. Got the ph down to 3.7 before brewing. I pitched Belle Saison Dry. The plan was to let it sit Tart Cherries in secondary.
14 days after pitching FG was at 1.010 and it smelled like parmesan cheese. I raised the temp to 85F for 2 days for a Diacetyl rest and to see if it would ferment out. No luck.
I decided to Krausen with Brett. I had grew up some from a bottle of Matilda so i just did a starter and pitched. After 7 days at 75F i gave it a smell and taste. ALL parmesan smell is gone and it tastes great. Will probably move to secondary on some cherries like i planned and let it age awhile.
Thinking of brewing a Belgian Pale Ale and pitching directly onto the yeast cake.
Anyways, anyone else use Brett on a fast sour before?
