I recently brewed a pale ale and tweaked my grain bill a little from my usual base. Fermentation took almost 48 hours to kick off. I pitched some harvested S-04 (and didn't see any activity at 36 hours) then pitched US-05 on top of it. I've never mixed yeasts before, but I could swear I'm getting that distinct brett taste in the finished product here. FG was normal, which would be weird for an infection.
Recipe is as follows.

5# 2-Row
4.5# Maris Otter
1.6# Flaked Oats
0.6# C60

14 g Magnum @ 30
7 g Cascade @ 15
14 g Mandarina Bavaria @ WP 20 min
14 g MB dry hop @ day 2
14 g MB dry hop @ day 5

Anybody ever accidentally made a brett beer?
 
I got a brett-like fermentation in a lager...it was pretty awesome beer. :)
