Hey guys, I brewed a saison back in feb and it came out awesome. 1.072 OG, fermented 7 days to 1.004. This was Wyeast French Saison yeast. I love this stuff. Ok this time, I didn't do a big enough starter and it only dropped to 1.025 after 7 days. I want to do another starter with French saison and then some Brett Brux as well. I have not done too many experiments with Brett.
Here is my questions: I would like to drop the gravity a little bit more and then keg the saison and naturally carbonate using the Brett Brux. Would this work? How much would the brett continue to eat, and therefore how much more potential gravity do I need for the Brett to continue to carbonate the keg. I have been fermenting for 7 days at 78F with an OG of 1.074 and it is now 1.025.
Should I add the brett at the same time as the French Saison starter, or should I let the Saison yeast do its thing, and then transfer it to the keg and add the brett? I think there could be many ways to do this, I just do know about carbonating with Brett Brux. Thanks guys for your help.
