Just got my brett starter going


Ugggh... maybe I'm not being patient enough but I don't think the dregs from my Crooked Stave 100% Brett were viable. No signs of activity, no yeast sediment, no nothing. Anyone else have experience building a starter from 100% brett dregs?

I've not taken yeast out of a bottle before, however Brett takes forever to get going. One day of a starter probably isn't enough. I would let it go another day or two or three before you give up

I do. Takes about 8-10 days to really get going. You'll see some action after a few days, but ti still won't be quite ready. it'll die back down then fire up again.

I have everything ready to brew this morning, but keeping my eye on the weather. Not looking so good right now.
