I am fairly new to brewing with less than 10 brews under my belt so far, and I have an interesting question. Would it be possible to carbonate bottles by adding Brett Brux instead of priming sugar?
Would this cause bottle bombs? Would it impart any flavor at all?
I am doing a stout and I want to get the partial wild flavor like what Guinness does, but I don't trust myself yet for pasteurizing a brett portion, and I don't want too much brett taste, just a small edge.
If the consensus is that the bottles will not explode (assuming fully fermented down to a low final gravity), I will proceed and let people know what happens. I just don't want to waste several gallons of brew, nor the $15 on just a small number of bottles.
