I'm attempting to make something similar to Anchorage Brewing's Bitter Monk- a Belgian DIPA with brett.

My base beer is done fermenting and now I am confused as to what to do next...

Should I:

1- Dry hop for a week, then pitch brett?

Or

2- Pitch brett, let it do its thing, then dry hop before bottling?


Much thanks hbt!
 
Let the brett do their thing and then dry hop. Dry hopping should be done as close to consumption time as possible IMO. ;)
 
yup, brett first, then dry-hop.

you'll want to give the brett a few months to do its thing. if you dry-hop now, you'll lose a lot of that aroma while waiting on the brett to finish up.
