So I'm working out a recipe that will be treated somewhat like the Victory Wild Devil. I was thinking about a Brett B + L fermentation, but I'm wondering about the time it would take for the Brett to actually make any noticeable flavors in the beer versus how the hops' identity will deteriorate over the time while the Brett is working. I would assume that Brett should take a bare minimum of 6 months to make any real flavor contributions, but that 6+ month period isn't going to be friendly to the flavor of the hops. I want more of a funk than an intense sour in the beer, so I'm wondering if two - three months could do enough for me or if the overall IPA flavor will be killed by giving the Brett enough time to do its thing.
Any feedback?
