So there is the recipe I'm planning on brewing up. My question is I've never dabbled in the funk and I'm curious how long this beer is going to take before it should be ready. On average how long should primary fermentation last? Should I let it sit in secondary for longer then two weeks? Any tips from people who have dabbled in the funk (especially with an IPA) would help!
 
Oooo... A 100% brett hop bursted ipa. That'll be interesting. My only advice is to make a starter. Ferment like a normal ale yeast, a three primary would be a safe bet. Bottle, or keg, when the gravity is stable

I believe the mad fermentationist made a 100% brett ipa, im not completely sure though. You should check his website out

Edit; looks like he did. Here's the link
