Platypotamus, I wouldn't cold crash it. I can't really see the need for it unless it's what you like to do.
good to hear. I'll get this sucker bottled this week.

Platypotamus - No need to cold crash unless you are wanting to keg your beer. And then it is very helpful because the Brett is difficult to clarify. I don't think these beers really need to be clear, but some like it that way.
This looks like a nice easy and fun one. I think I'm going to have to try it. Next time you'd cut back on the IBU's?othellomcbane said:Just put up a full write-up of my 100% Trois White IPA on my blog, if anyone wants to read more about my experience: bear-flavored.com/2012/11/bear-flavored-100-brett-trois-white-ipa.html

Edited to add:
Your hop schedule doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I don't understand the notation. It says:

Missed out on this release. Anyone have some saved that they would be willing to trade? I've got some ECY bugfarm...
So while at the grocery store today I saw prickly pears. I picked up four to use in 3 gal of my 100% trois saison. It is now a vibrant pink/magenta color. I also took a gravity sample of the non-fruited version and it's down to about 1.002. It's nice and dry and has a spicy hop character mixed with ripe tropical fruits. I'm very pleased.

I too, sort of brewed a saison with the trois. It was pretty much Chad Yakobson's 100% Brett Farmhouse recipe from Zymurgy. 6 lbs two row, 2.25 Munich, and 2.5 lbs split between oats, wheat, spelt, and rye. Hopped in the kettle with small amounts of Columbus and Nelson Sauvin. Didn't aerate after transferring to the fermenter. Brewed on 9/16, it is currently being dry-hopped with an oz of some fresh Amarillo. So far mine is incredibly tropical fruity with a nice mouthfeel. Maybe a little tartness? Gravity went all the way down to 1.006. Planning on doing an American Wheat style next with it.

Main brew in Hillsboro, OR has trois. Just ordered a tube and crossing my fingers they don't call me in the morning and tell me it's sold out. Just noticed they have some Nelson pellets, hopefully I can call them early tomorrow and add that to my order before it is packed up.
oh yea, www.mainbrew.com
