I just brewed a Flanders Red with ECY02 and it is fermenting away in a plastic bucket. This strain contains Belgian sacch yeast, in addition to several strains of brett, pedio, and lacto.
My question is when should I transfer this to a better bottle for long term aging? I've never done a sour before, but from what I've read, the plastic buckets allow in too much O2, and I don't want excessive acetic acid character, though some would certainly be more than appropraite.
Anybody have experience or advice to offer?
