Hello,
i have plans to brew a gin barrel aged saison in the near future. i was planning on bottling it and thought about possibly adding the dregs of a brett beer. i thought the best way would be adding it in the bottling bucket to reduce the amount of items that could be contaminated. i know i'd need a new/dedicated bucket, siphon, spigot and tubing for brett just to be safe. my specific question are:
if adding at bottling would i need to make any adjustments with priming sugar calculations to avoid bottle bombs down the road? i'm using a mix of safeale BE-134 and some harvested saison du pont yeast so it should end up pretty dry. last saison i made with be-134 had an FG of 1.004.
if adding brett from a bottle, would i need to user a starter to propagate a larger amount, or would a single bottles worth be enough? would it just take the brett characteristics that much longer to develop or would it not have enough viability to do anything?
