Adding Brett into a keg.

[eluterio]

I've got a Pilsner I Brewer a few months back and kegged. I wanted to add Brett to it but can't find anyone who's got experience in adding Brett into an already carbonated Pilsner. I was thinking of adding Brett into the keg and putting the keg into inside the house for a few months. Any thoughts???

Pitching Brett and keeping it in the house for a while would get you some character.

Have you done it this way?

 

[Double_D]

No. I'd say it's an uncommon technique. Regardless, Brett is good at cleaning up after sacc. You'll get something out of it but most likely not as much as if had been pitched earlier.

Appreciate any info on this. Just upset I lost co2 pressure after I added a new quick disconnect. I had 3 kegs on and 2 days later I noticed my take was empty. It was 3/4 full. It ruined three beers of mine but hey this will allow me to try and use some brett in a beer!

Ruined your beer? You sure they dont just need some more CO2?

 

[Double_D]

Yeah, I'd say ruined is a bit stretch. Aren't most of those quick disconnects for liquid anyway?

not these they are a solid stainless steel disconnects. I think I need a better clamping system and better co2 lines. I have a buddy who uses them and is happy but he went through the same issues of losing co2. He told me how to fix the problem but it was a bit too late for 3 of my beers!
