FARMHOUSE SAISON: MY FIRST BRETT BEER | Co-Pitching & MIXED FERMENTATION | CONDITIONING Brett Beers
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2021-08-23

In this video, I made my first beer with wild yeast - A Brett Farmhouse Saison. Turns out this type of beer is actually really easy to make, if you have the right fermentation setup. I co-pitched Belgian Saison and Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and this made for a really amazing and complex yeast character that continued to evolve and change as this beer conditioned over several months. I waited three months for this tasting and it was well worth it. This spritzy and dry beer had flavors of apple, pear, peppery spice, tart cranberry and raspberry, bubblegum and farmhouse funk.
