Brew day 8/31/16. 4-gallon batch, extract only. Boiled DME for an hour with only one hop addition (1/4 oz T90 Aged Lambic hops for 60 minutes). The day before I made a lacto starter with GoodBelly (Lactobacillus Plantarum) plus dregs from one of my previous sour ales (11b). Fermented with Safbrew Abbaye yeast. OG was 1.054. 9/23/16 I racked it into a secondary and added 3 lbs. of Vintner's apricot puree. Meanwhile, on 11/29/16 I made a starter using dregs from Fond Tradition Kriek (2013) and Oude Geuze Boon (2010), but then I got worried that those old bottles wouldn't be viable enough, so I added a packet of Mangrove Jack's French Saison dried yeast that I happened to have, and then it really began to erupt. I wasn't sure what I was going to use this starter for, but after tasting the Apricot beer on 12/1/16 (which tasted fine and clean and had a pleasant sourness, but it lacked depth), I decided to spike it with my starter. I plan to let it sit for a while, then rack it into a tertiary and let it age even more -- to give the Brett a chance to influence the beer. Gravity reading on 12/1/16 was about 1.006 (refractometer calculation), but I think there are still some sugars left for the Brett to eat, including those in the starter. I'm excited to see what happens with this experiment.
