Didn't really even think about that impact, since I've only done it when kegging.

Okay, scratch that, if you're bottling, add the strawberries in secondary.

This is how Russian River makes their sours... primary with saccharomyces, remove from yeast, add fruit and brett, wait 2 months then add lacto/pedio blend.



good, because Supplication is my inspiration.

think it would be best to cold crash it before racking it to a secondary to get as much yeast out as I can?

Removing the yeast may not make a huge difference on a homebrew scale, but I don't think it would hurt to crash it before hand.

I think Frat and/or S14 made a consecration clone.. they may have some better insight.

That we did. we need to rebrew that beer. We didn't cold crash it if my memory serves me correctly. we did move it into a secondary though once we added the currants and the bacteria blend. We added the wood about a month before bottling.

I've heard conflicting information from both sides and both sides are pretty convinced of their way. Some say to get as much primary yeast out of it. Others say to leave it all in. Pick your poison.

On another topic.....It is Zapp's Week!!!

I do not have a beer to serve to the masses this year but you know I will be bringing it to our pre-party. Everyone is welcome to the Brasseurs a la Maison preparty which starts around 1030. If you are a vendor you can enter the festival through the back gate with us, if you have a general ticket you will have to walk around to the front to enter. Hit me up if you need more information.

the info I was looking at had a couple recipes in it, and I think they both used french oak and pinot wine. I will probably try that route. I may soak the cubes in the wine a few days then add that

here is my plan:
71% 2-Row
18% Vienna
7.5% Crystal 40L
3.5% Carafa III

Mash @ 160 for 60 minutes

ferment with WLP 530 Abbey Ale (1.5L starter)
rack to secondary, add 2 oz French Oak cubes, 2 lb dried tart cherries, Rdsdc's brett blend, let it go for 3 months
add WLP655 Belgian Sour Mix, let it go 9-12 months

I have been out of the brew game for a while, but would like to start back up again. Where and when are the Brasseurs meetings?

Funny you should ask that... They have been held at The Cove and Corporate brew and draft for the last few years or so but we are looking at possible different venues in the future. The next meeting is scheduled to be held at Tiger Deaux-nuts
5162 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA 70806
on April 8th.
