Hi everyone!
I made a Brett beer, and it's been 13+ months since pitching the brett in secondary (pitched in December, bottled in June). However, the beer is still lacking in funk and pretty much any other strong brett character. Just wondering if anyone has any idea why. Here are the specifics:
-OG: 1.050
-Primary FG: 1.010
-Secondary FG: 1.002
-Primary Yeast: t58
-Brett: WLP650 (Orval strain) built up in a starter from a buddy who uses the same strain quite a lot in his beers, all of which develop a funky character in 6-12 months
-Malts were mostly pilsner and rye
The beer tastes nice overall, but really nothing about it would make you think it's been bretted for a year, and we're all scratching out heads over it. If anyone has any ideas, they'd be much appreciated.
Cheers
Tyler
