Brett or sach primary for mixed culture sour?

[jfolks]

Going to do my first long term sour, and I'm curious what experienced people think about using Brett vs Sach in primary. If I go the sach route, I would add Brett, Pedio, and lacto into secondary after a clean primary. Alternatively I could add pedio and lacto in secondary after a 100% Brett primary.

(Disclaimer, I've read mtf, the tonsmeir book, and listened to many sour hours- just curious what experiences y'all have had with the two approaches)

I'm a fan of the funky flavors you get from Brett in secondary. I enjoy Brett Primary beers but they really aren't sours per se. I usually get more fruit than funk with Brett in primary.

I do pretty much everything in primary (sac, brett, lacto, dregs) for about a month then go secondary and add more dregs. I usually use saison yeasts for sac, i really enjoy that combo.

+1 This is what I do as well.

i tend to do a clean primary and add all bugs in secondary.

both methods work. i like waiting until secondary because it keeps bugs away from my primary gear.
