I have a bottle of Ommegang Biere de Mars, & I was thinking about harvesting the yeast from it (Brett). I really dig Victory's Wild Devil Ale, and was thinking about possibly funking up an IPA.
From my research, it seems like I would pitch the brett during secondary. I also read about lots of contamination issues b/c Bretts are hearty little guys, so I'd probably just ferment a small batch in a separate vessel that I don't use for non-brett beers. So I ask:
Does harvesting yeast from this particular beer seem like a good idea?
If it is, how long would you recommend I leave it in secondary?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm a new brewer, but I'm feelin really experimenty.:fro:
