Chance of autolysis in sour aging?

[Queekeg]

I brewed a 5 gallon batch then fermented with abbey ale yeast for a week to get down to an acceptable gravity. I then racked to secondary and in that process managed to get a healthy amount of the abbey ale yeast trub though the auto siphon. I was trying to do two thing at once and it slipped a few times grabbing some trub.

Now 12 hours later I have a secondary with a thin layer of Sacc. yeast plus newly pitched Brett C.

I guess my question has two parts:

What are the chances of getting autolysis in 12 month aging of a sour from the Saccharomyces that can transfer to secondary?

What are the chances of autolysis from the brett/pedio/lacto etc. that inevitably build and run out of food over a year?


Thanks!

Not much since the bugs use that stuff for food

Lacto and Pedio will eat the dead/dormant Sacc?

Brett will, which is what you pitched.

Autolysis is a possibilty in any beer aged for a long period of time on yeast. Brett can utilize a limited amount of ruptured yeast cells' byproducts, but if there is more dead yeast than the brett can process, there will be autolysis off flavors. I don't know where people get the idea autolysis in beers containing brett is impossible, I can only imagine they read it on the internet and repeat it as factual without any direct experience. I don't mean that as an insult to anyone who has replied already, but this comes up fairly often and it's frustrating to see something that isn't true repeated as gospel.

you think Bud Light Lime is a sour beer.
