I've been interested in trying an all Brett-Claussenii fermentation to see if I can get some of that fruitiness to come out without as much of the funk/barnyard. I'll be kegging this once it's done fermenting so there won't really be any bottle conditioning but i'm expecting that it might change slightly over time in the keg too.
Any advice or changes you'd recommend? I think what i'm most uncertain about are mash and fermentation temperatures.
