Hey fellow brewers
I've been brewing beer fro 7-8 years and experienced quite a it with LAB and Brett and so on.
I have a question for more experienced brewers. Coming from the wine world and having produced wine in California and France, there is a technique called batonnage that you could do while aging white wines. You mostly see this on Chardonnay but could be done on other varietals as well. In a nutshell, you agitate the must and put the yeasts that have settled at the bottome in suspension. This add complexity, yeasts aromas and mostly body to the wine.
Is this a technique that coud be applied on beer? For instance, would you put the yeasts back in suspension after 7-10 days in primary? Would this add texture to the finish beer? Help cleaning up the bi-product from fermentation or affect the flavour profile in any way?
Let me know if you have tested this or what is your feeling about this
regards
