White Labs American Farmhouse

Post by hogie » Fri Jun 07, 2013 8:15 am

I plan on brewing a saison early next week, using the Danstar Belle Saison for half and White Labs Farmhouse for the other have. That has some Brett in it. Has anyone used it before? Besides my normal cleaning routine are there any extra precautions I should take with it to avoid contaminating my brew house with Brett?

I have a completely seperate set of gear for dealing with my sours. I never use that equipment for anything else.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I am currently kegging some sours up for the summer. I have a completely seperate keggerator for those as well :crazy:

I keep my sours in the same kegerator, and use the same co2 supply. I would really avoid cross using other brewing gear unless you have stuff that can take heat to sterilize.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:
