Few months ago, I made a Brett beer using Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Brett lambicus. The starters for those beers were sitting around at room temperature for about 3 months. I tasted the starters today and they were quite sour with a hint of typical brett funk in both starters. Is the taste...

I am trying to make my starter first brett brew using Brettanomyces bruxellensis Wyeast 5112. I added about 100ml Wyeast pack to a 1.4L wort. Its been 5 days with no sign of fermentation or activity in the air lock. Is the yeast really slow or dead? How many days do people normally wait before...
