They do themes. Last quarter was High Gravity, and the quarter before was English Ale. Now it's Brett Fusion.Grumble grumble. Apparently the only brewers who matter to Wyeast are those doing Belgians.

For my pLambics, I pitch the bugs in secondary after using a neutral primary strain. The only time they are in tubing is when they are racked to a corney. If you are concerned with contamination, I'd just go with a 1:10 bleach soak for 10 minutes followed by a thorough rinse.I've never made a Brett beer, and could be interestied to try, but I worry so much about getting something in my system that I can't get rid of. Would I have to change out / throw away hoses and such? Maybe I'll start a new topic on this.

Amen! By the way, I know from experience that this blend will last for a year in the smack pack. Two years ago, I bought a smack pack of Roeselare and didn't use it for another year. The pack swelled just fine and I fermented a Flanders Red with it. This year, I'm going to buy two packs and I'll use one this year for another Flanders then save the other for another batch next year, just in case they don't release it again next year.Roeselare time!

Greg is wise. I will do the same.I will get the brett strain and do 10 gal of saison. One with some some saison strain and one with brett. I know. Very original.Hell, may as will get the trappist strain as well.Amen! By the way, I know from experience that this blend will last for a year in the smack pack.
