Brewed a 10g batch of blacklabs' Cascade Orange Pale Ale on March 20. 5 gallons went into keg as is and the 5 gallons i added Brett Brux (WLP650) to and set it in my brew closet for now 2 months to get funky. This is my first Brett beer so i have no idea what to expect, so i'm looking for some guidance here.
