So I am interested in brewing an Orval Clone. I have a recipe that calls for WLP650 Brettanomyces Bruxellensis yeast pitched during secondary fermentation. I have spoken with a few of the bacteria guys over on the lambic forum and they have advised against reusing any "soft" equipment that the Brett has touched. I have just bought a kegerator and have really been looking forward to Orval on tap.
My question to you, has anyone tried an orval clone without using the Brett? Either leaving it out entirely or pitching some other strain of yeast in the secondary in its place? Maybe a trappist ale yeast or a Belgian?
Very interested in knowing how (if) it turned out.
Thanks
