Hi All,
I'm not new to making sour/tart/wild beers. I've got 3 going right now (sour rye stout, funky dark saison, american kriek), but traditionally I've used either 1 isolated strain like brett bruxellensis, brett lambicus, etc... or I've used a already mixed pitch like ECY-20, Roeselare, etc... For my next beer I was thinking I wanted to mix three isolated strains and was curious about a couple things. The plan is to make a "farmhouse" ale, using white labs 550 (Belgian Ale) as my primary strain, and then in the secondary I wanted to pitch brett brux, brett lambicus and lacto. So, if these are all going into my secondary... should I just buy a tube of each and throw all 3 in, or should I throw them all together and make a little starter or should I use half a tube of each, or another ratio, or something completely different? Any advice would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!
