How long does it take for brett to settle out in a starter. It will not be in the frig (Chad Y), rather a 65 F basement.
He has also stated more than ounce to never refrigerate a brett starter.
can you please point me to this quote? i've heard this said a bunch, but have never seen it directly from chad. I've made starters from washed brett stored for months in a fridge (and crashed said starters) with no issue, I can't imagine that a day or 2 cold crash would cause a problem
I will need to listen to it again, I think it's also in the Brewing Network podcast (http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/866) he did?
he does mention it in there. I must've missed it when I listened in the past (it is 4 hours after all). Around the halfway mark it comes up with the listener questions. He states that he saw his refrigerated brett lose all viability in 6 months, whereas his room temp ones are still going. He also says that he sees sacchro die in the same timeline if not quicker. so maybe you will have more cells keeping it warm, but a cold crash isn't gunna wreck it.
