This looks interesting. I'm in.

I really wonder how different it is from other blends. I used some 5g of apple juice with harvested Wyeast 3031 saison brett - pleasantly funky, mildly tart, and very dry. Enjoyable overall. Brett funk plus apple juice is something that may be a bit of an acquired taste though.

down to 89 remaining come on people let's get this going again!!!

you trying to do a group buy? or waiting for the vault release?

trying to get White Labs to release the yeast - you don't pay until the orders are met - this is how it was presented to me by White Labs:

Place a preorder on one of specialty strains listed below. When 150 orders are received, you’ll receive an email notifying you the strain will be released along with its estimated ship date. At that time, your credit card will be charged.

right, but when you said "go in on" i assumed there was a big order being placed. commercial accounts can order them anytime, dont need to wait for the vault releases. want sure if that is what you were referring to. just put up reply, didnt really pay attention to first post i guess.

Sixteen to go. Since this is a brett yeast, do I need to keep my equipment separate from non-brett gear?

 

[kraizter]

Ordered two, down to 14!

IMHO just sanitize after you have completed using that equipment. I use the same fermentators for beer, wine & cider

Ordered two, down to 14!

down to 12 orders remaining

Once they hit the target, does anyone know the typical time that it takes until it actually ships?

 

[evsol]

Ordered 2...down to 10 now!

StarSan is good at killing bacteria, but not so good at killing yeast. To be safe, I'd sanitize with Iodopher which kills a broader spectrum, including brett.

I stopped using Iodophor a long time ago because StarSan is so much easier to use. I sure am glad I didn't throw it away!

Didn't see this and put in a verbal order through my LHBS after tasting his brett cider. Sorry bros if it gets down to 1 @ me and I'll put us over the top.

 

[whovous]

8 to go!

 

[kraizter]

7 to go!

 

[whovous]

4. Surely someone is planning a really big batch of Brett cider that calls for four packs of yeast.

 

[TooManyTacos]

Ordered one. 3 to go

 

[robdogj]

now down to 2 orders - time to start gathering your hard cider ingredients - Yes I am pumped about this

 

[whovous]

Goal reached. Looks like I need to figure out what the heck I am doing.

 

[kraizter]

Anyone have any ingredient suggestions for this type of cider?

 

[whovous]

I just started a new thread with this same question. I've ordered the yeast, now what do I do with it?

[BrewSomeMore]
