I have used Wild hops in several batches of SMASH beer, late hop additions, and sour wild ales. If they are close to ripe you should eat a cone. If you have ever done this before you will be able to taste how harsh the alphas are compared to other commercial hops. I have tried vastly...

Thanks guys.... I was thinking of splitting a batch with one sacch brux trois and a true Brett for comparison... and don't want to make the jump to having even more strictly Brett buckets....

Brett will eat the oak? I tossed some oak that I soaked in a mix of vodka and red wine into secondary of a saison and it kinda bubbled and formed a small pellicle. Is it just fighting the air in the wood or is it actually eating something?

Regarding these findings do you think I would need to use my Brett dedicated equipment for this strain? Or will it not leach into the plastic equipment since it is Sacch?
