I ordered some ECY Brett Anomala (ECY04) today. (Thanks, L2B!) I think I'd like to pitch it as a primary, and also save some for storage.
It appears like there's not a lot of info out there, at least in a quick search. One thread on HBT seems to indicate some thought it was a fruit bomb, and others thought it was a funk bomb. I'd like to use the fresh vial for a primary pitch, but with what I save, down the line I'd like to pitch it as a secondary and age under pressure. Maybe these two methods bring out the fruit vs the funk, respectively.
Does anyone have any experience to share with this strain, either as primary or as secondary?
I don't have much experience with Brett at all. I've done just one saison with Brett B. in secondary, under pressure in a keg. That really came into its own after 6 months, and it's actually carbing just now after pulling some samples recently. If I brew this next batch with the ECY04 as primary, will I still see some development if I let it age under pressure for a few months?
