Hello All,
I am intrigued about one thing: Can Brett process fusel alcohols?
I have reserched a little bit (sorry if there is already a topic on this, I was not able to find it) and the answers seem to be inconclusive and discrepant. Can anyone reccomend me some reading or provide some material on that?
The background story is: I was stupid enough to try to brew two saisons in the Spanish summer and, obviously, these 40 liters are packed with fusel alcohols.
I have just started experimenting with Brett and I got around 8 liters from one of the batches and pitched dregs from a Cantilion's Lou Pepe. The result is very interesting, while in the original saison batch there is lots of fusels, I did not notice any trace of fusel alcohols in the 8 liters which I pitched Brett dregs. I am guessing it is because of the brett.
Anyone with a similar experience?
Thanks!
Cheers from Barcelona.
