So I did this brew where I had horrible conversion...
I had read that some Bretts would eat starch so off to my LHBS and I asked if they had a recommendation, they did and said the American Farm House Ale, White Labs I think... The guy said it was known to eat the inside of barrels so I figured that was the yeast for me.
The beer was Brett Strong,,, I mean it was so heavy I thought I might have to use this beer as a blending beer.... I keg.
A couple months later I tried it and it had mellowed and was outstanding. Clear, tasty, and I mean,,,, really something to try to brew again.
So, I want to add about 1/2 pound of starch to the boil to give my little yeasties something else to eat in the fermenter... I mean the Belgians do it in the Mash Tun so there must be a product.
What product might I try, any ideas?
