Thanks for the insight!
Since it's our first time bottling something with brett, we opted for the "better safe than sorry" approach. Last thing I wanted to risk was bottle bombs! Final product is good, my personal preference is just a slightly higher carbonation level. Know better for next time!
Will be trying to nurse this supply for about 12 months. Second batch is on schedule to be carbed by then. We'll probably hang onto one or two just to see how they age. Since this was our first attempt, we weren't sure how it would turn out and didn't want to dive in head first. Given the success, we're now working on building up a regular sour pipeline so we're not stuck waiting a year in between batches. In time, that should fix the supply problem. Until then, we're just not going to be sharing this one!
