I brewed a Belgian Brett pa about a month ago. Pitched my wyeast brett strain. Didn't start up for three days, hear this is normal. Temp in my room is cold. I was aiming for 64 deg. but the highest at one point in time was 62. lowest was 59. Have not taken a gravity readingf, but krausen has dropped back into solution and most of my little friends have dropped out of solution. Out of the airlock, it smells extremly similar to goose island's Matilds that is refermented with brett.
Should I transfer to secondary? I don't normally secondary.
I hear you want to leave it in primary for three months. Then package, and leave for a period of three months to a year or more to produce the nice dirty sock wet hore in a rundown barnyard aroma that we all love from brettanomyces.
I would like to clear up my carboy for another batch, was going to use plastic. I hear it is better for wild yeast, because oxygen can permiate the bucket. I learned that from Vinnie. The BN Rocks.
Any tips?
