I'm thinking of experimenting with the Philly Sour yeast from Lallemand. I was thinking it might be interesting to do an American Wheat recipe, and pitch something like Nottingham, Philly Sour and a Brett strain at the same time. I'm targeting a light, drinkable beer, with some acidity and some brett character, but not overwhelmingly so. Balanced, I guess.

1. Does this make any sense?
2. The Philly Yeast says it will ferment out in ten days at 75ish F - if I ferment it at 65 with the Nottingham, will it still work, just more slowly?
3. I should get some nice mild Brett character after a couple of weeks, yes? Not the funky character you get from long term Brett aging, but a nice mild leathery or barnyard character.
4. Any other advice or thoughts?

Thanks!
