checked my hoppy wheat and it was already fermented out after 5 days, so I dumped in 3 ounces to dry hop

started planning the next batch, a tart plum wheat. Gonna go small on this one, just 1.039 with 40% wheat and 10% acid malt. Planning to add the acid malt after the 45 minutes or so of the mash so it doesn't change the ph too much for good conversion.

I plan on brewing an Imperial Red IPA next... probably in a few weeks when we are kegging the Lemon Basil Wit. With the mead going we don't really have space to do two additional beers at once.

quick question:

the recipe I'm working with for my sour says to pitch brett then pitch the bacteria 2-3 months later. I've had others say to pitch them at the same time. Are there advantages to one way over the other? I guess I would be giving the brett a head start to develop some characters in the beer before introducing the bugs.
