I have a disappointing beer that I bottled over 7 months ago that's not getting any better. It was a winter warmer with wheat yeast at about ~70 F (terrible idea from the get-go, I know).
I'm considering opening up all of the bottles and pouring them down the side of a fermentor and adding some of my Brett L, or maybe dregs or something, and letting it go for several months.
I'm thinking with all the CO2 from the bottles, oxygen wouldn't really be a concern.
The OG was 1.078, FG was 1.017, so there's plenty of sugars for the Brett to have fun with, but the 8.2% ABV might be a little stressful for them. I could add some other low ABV beers to the mix, or freshly boiled very low OG wort...
What do you guys think?
