I did some searching and couldn't find concrete answers.

I'm brewing a 10g saison now. OG was 5.0 and I pitched 2 vials of 565 @ 67 deg. It fermented for 4 days at 74-76. On day 5, I put in 2lb of Wildflower honey and a smack pack of 3711. It's been 10 days, and I plan to give it 21 days before I rack it.

I want to put 5g in a corny, condition for another week and Co2 to tap.
I want to put the other 5 into a glass carboy and experiment with using some Brett B.

My question is, do I need to supply the Brett with a food source? I already added honey to feed to 3711, so I assume that this thing will be bone dry and the Brett will have nothing to feed on.

What's the standard protocol for this?

If I don't use Brett B i'm going to harvest Dreggs from Green flashes Rayon vert
