I brewed a Brett saison last year in November and forget about it until now!![emoji15]🙄. Just wanted to know if folks think it is worth putting in a keg or should I dump it??
 
Beer can sit with Brett in a non-oxygen environment for however long you like. If oxygen got in, I believe there's a chance the brett will produce acetic acid. Was the air lock filled at all times? Whatever the case, taste it. I don't believe there's any chance of getting sick from it.
 
I've got 3 5-gallon cornies worth does going that are all way older than that. It's all good.
