Hello,
This is my tenth (AG) brew. It's an Imperial IPA with a nice 8.4ABV/71 IBU. For some reason it came much higher OG(82 VS 70) and a bit lower FG(17 VS 20) than expected.
I have had similar infections like this a couple of times(probably my plastic fermenter or just bad luck), but this is the cutest of them all. I have looked/searched _many_ articles and posts, but for some reason I haven't seen a clear phtographic/visual distinction made between brett VS. lacto VS. other nasties. So, can someone confirm that this is indeed Brett?
Also, I know I should let it condition for a bit and then drink it rather fast in fear of an explosion. But are there any other notable sideeffects?
Thanks!
