Cool.
My thought is we should work from the yeast strain to the hops the the grain bill. I think the brett choice and hop choice is going to be the biggest key to the beer.

I agree. Since Brett C is a little more forgiving and you already mentioned that strain maybe we could start there. 100% Brett fermentation or not?

Lager pitching rates makes sense. How long do you envision a Brett starter taking? A week or two?

I'll split the batch. Brett C and Brux Tois.

I'm getting ready to keg up a full sized barrel that we pitched Trois into last year. Holy heaven the flavors in the sample is everything the description says it is.

I would probably have to step it up a time or two so for me I was thinking the 2 week time frame.

Yes!

Ken and Dan, 100% brett beers do not taste like the brett you are thinking of when used in mixed culture with sach. No where near. Not even like a Belgian yeast really. You don't get funk, you get a fruity ester. Very cool stuff. Excellent for hoppy beer.
Agreed on the pitch rates. You need a lot more brett than ale sach.

This. It's not like english over the top fruity esters either. These are pleasant and complimentary.

Yep. Like mango, pineapple, citrus. Just the subtleties that create a beautiful canvas to showcase top shelf aroma hops.

I have never made anything with brett before so I am just riding coattails here on this recipe. I have had two IPAs that were 100% brett fermentations before. One was just OK, nothing bad, and the other was incredible much like doob described above, lots of pineapple and citrus with crazy complexity.
