I thought it might be helpful to have a single thread for people discuss all things related to brewing an exclusively brett beer rather than a bunch of disjointed threads discussing what is essentially the same subject.
I'll get things started:
I had a two month old vial of ECY B. Custersianus sitting in the fridge that I've been meaning to get around to using. after scouring the web for info on starters for 100% I was just as confused as I was when I set out. the only constant I came across was " make a big starter",.
I figured; 'well, my vial is two months old, has no info regarding projected initial cell count, so I'd better do a multi-step". started out with 1.5 liters of 1036 wort, pitched whole vial two days ago. visible activity has been slow at best.
not sure where to go from here...
pitch another two liters of wort at the same gravity? that's the direction I'm leaning at the moment.
