Funk with Less Fuss: Update 3

So today was the day for the California yeast to finally kick in.

Three beers and all three started on different days. Here is how it ended up.
  • Mixed Fermentation started after one day.
  • 100% Brett B. started on day two
  • California Yeast started on day three.
According to the schedule I will let the mixed fermentation go until Tuesday of next week and check on the airlock activity.  If it has slowed I will move it to secondary storage for 8 weeks at warmer temps (~80)

100% Brett B will sit in the primary for 2 weeks.  So that will be checked on March 27th. Secondary will be 4 weeks after that at 55 degrees or as cold as I can keep it to that temp.

The California Ale yeast will just sit in the primary until I see no airlock activity - usually a week which would make it March 21st.  I will then transfer over to a secondary to clear it out for two weeks at cooler temps.

Next update will be next week once we check in on the Mixed Ferm and the Cali brews.

Till then...
