Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra blends?

Sounds nice to me. Do we want to boil the citra?

[BlKtRe]

Mosaic is cool by me too.

 

I pefer Citra either blended late, whirlpool or dry myself

What the hell I can get in on this. Have never used Brett before. So is Brett a really slow fermenter? What temps do they usually ferment at?

Yeah I was thinking just whirlpool and dry on the citra but I'll play along however with this one.

I am fine with this. Same treatment for mosaic if we use it?

Brett 100% fermentation should not take much longer than regular brewers yeast.

I am okay with this. 

 

What are you thinking for %'s

 

I was thinking maybe an OG around 1.066

87% Pale

7% C-20

7% Wheat

66 is fine by me. I'm thinking a FG will be 1.012-14 so that would work.

 

Also, thinking back to the Brett strain, I sampled a Brett Trois that was added to one of our barrels that had a Sac fermentation and I was seriously impressed. Not sure if the hops will hide all the esters from it or not but it sure is tasty.

I see the Brett Trois is still available so would you rather use that strain?  I am not tied to using Brett C.  One question with the Trois is can you make a starter or does that throw the blend off?

I really want to try this beer, but my weekends are getting really full up quick leading up to the wedding in Dec. I think I might have to be sick, *cough, cough, cough* and get some brewing done.

Hey Bro .. you do not look so good!

I will double check that Drez. I thought I read in American Sour guys were propping Brett blends. Working today so my copy isn't on me. If someone has it this information should be in the 100% Brett section.

I will take a look at mine when I get home.

So is this the one we are going to use? https://www.northern...t/list/id/5807/

Lots of of favorable reviews for 100% brett IPA.

It hasn't been decided for sure. But the Trios is Avery's strain called Brett Drie. Its also the strain used in Super Friends and some batches of Sanctification. The book does not talk about making starters from blends and messing up the blends. So if we use this strain it might be better to pitch 2 vials per 5g instead of making a starter....Thoughts....

 

Brett C is fairly mild and have heard using it in a IpA the esters from the Brett are hard to distinguish from the hops. This strain would be better to make a large starter. 

 

Pitching rates is suggested at 1.25 x 10 billion cells/ml......Any math guys out there want to figure this one out for the Trois?  I have no idea how many cells are in a vial.

I'm reading this strain is slightly acetic, if you aerate.

02 plays a part for all strains. We can discuss that too.
