I just got back into all-grain home brewing with a new 1/2 bbl system, and my maiden voyage was a Lagunitas Censored clone. I think I overshot the mash temp a little trying to figure out the HERMS system, and both OG and FG were higher than expected. Fermentation was vigorous and quick, but ABV is at about 5%. The samples actually taste pretty good, not too cloying or overly sweet. But as I'm about to keg this weekend, I wonder if I should try putting five gallons in a carboy with some Brett. I'm a big fan of Brett beers, but have never worked with it. Will it work on the unfermentables I extracted from the mash?

Thanks!
 
It can't hurt! Sounds like a good plan. Only question is if you want to risk a sanitation issue with your equipment. I would go for it.
