hi everyone,
I have done a few Brett beers in the past but i have a couple kegs of a belgian strong at about 9.5% that finished at 1.008. the kegs are carbed but they are in a closet aging for a bit. I was thinking about soaking some cubes in some port wine and adding them to the kegs along with some Brett Lambicus. I guess my questions are will the Brett tolerate the 9.5% abv? and are there enough sugars left at 1.008 for the brett to eat and really develop a nice character?
for some reason i feel the flavors may go while with Brett Lambicus, if you think that I'm crazy and those will clash please let me know
thanks
