No worries. I found a thread where someone cultured brett from a bottle of rayon vert. There's also plenty of info on orval so I may go with that. Thanks for the help though

Thanks for the info! I believe my store just got a new batch of rayon vert so I'll try making a starter this weekend

Does anyone know a good off the shelf beer that you can culture brett from? I have access to things like anchorage brewing company and a ton of different belgium breweries. I made a saison a little while back and used the WYEAST Belgian saison strain but wanted to add a little brett funk to it...

I've had this in the secondary for a month and the gravity seems to be stuck around 1.032. Any tips?

It's only 3 days in the primary but I'll let you know in a month or so. Fermentation was going crazy the first day and half but it's settled down a little bit.

Thanks Kal. I used the wyeast Thames valley. It was all my hb store had available. Excited to see how this turns out.

Noon question here, but why the 21 day primary fermentation? Is this common with ESBs or this type of yeast? Why no secondary?

I brewed a slight variation of this last night. My local store only carries WYEAST so I used the 3638 Bavarian wht. Instead of marmalade, I boiled down 2 blood oranges and added the extract at 15 minutes (also using blood orange zest). Really excited to see how this turns out.

looks great. I'm going to try this out next week.

looks good, I'm going to have to give this one a try.

maybe try adding 1lb of honey at flameout?
