I threw some Tiarna into a BDSA on blackberries and its been slowly fermenting. No funky pellicles yet, so maybe just the champagne yeast working on the fruit.
I'm bringing this thread back from the dead instead of starting a new thread; hope now one minds.
I've currently got the dregs of one bottle of Allagash Hive 56 and one bottle Coolship Red in with about 200 mL of 1.015 wort. I see activity after a loooong lag period. Was going to pitch into a mixed fermentation, but now I'm wondering if the Coolship actually has the lacto I want or is it really only going to be brett and sacch in that bottle. Anyone have experience with these Allagash brews?
I am a little concerned though...it arrived looking like this:
I'm used to yeast being a little less dark...think it's okay? There's no MFG date, just an expiration date of 4/22/18. I'm going to make a starter, hopefully it takes off.
Badly it never fermented and the wort got moldy. Had to dump it.Brewddah, How did the Brettanomyces Bruxellensis - Strain TYB207 shake out for you?

I did, so I really don't understand what went wrong. The starter took off eventually, although it took a while.Ah shoot! I assume you didn’t make a starter with the vial?
