monks cafe Flanders red. mine won't be done for another 8 months :P

It depends on the gallon / batch size you are brewing. I am still in my first year of brewing and by no means an expert but I started with ciders because 1) I like them and 2) they are simpler than beers for the most part. You still need to add a bit of brown sugar to the juice, if you want to...

thanks! I read somewhere that I can keep in a mason jar but I didnt know if it needed and airlock or venting. Any recommendations on the type of beer to pitch it into? Brett can be a little funky so I'd want to know that I was helping a beer and not hurting it :P.

Apologies if this is well discussed on another thread. I am going to rack to secondary a 5 gallon batch of brett belgian very soon. It spent 4 weeks in the primary and the fermentation is complete. My question is, what is a good recommendation for the dregs? I dont have a beer ready to pitch...

Vichon merlot currently ... But have half a growler of beach wood 'hop ninja' double ipa waiting for me later.
