Notes

9/27/15: Created 1.3 liter starter of 1.023 wort, and added one vial of WLP-648 (Brett Drie) and dregs from Surly Pentagram (Brett Bruxellensis and Claussenii). Finished with an estimated 21 billion cells.

10/5/15: Stepped up with a 2.5 liter starter of 1.040 wort. Very fruity aroma, strong fermentation. Finished with an estimated 110 billion cells.

10/18/15: Stepped up with 3 liter starter of 1.040 wort. To finish with an estimated 319 billion cells.

10/28/15: Created a 1 liter 1.040 starter of OYL-605 (L. brevis and L. plantarum).

10/29/15: Brew day. Original gravity of 1.042 temperature corrected to 1.046. Very murky; trub from the Carapils? The high wheat content? Hopefully fermentation, time, and the brett will clean it up. Added 22mL lactic acid solution and pitched lacto starter around 11pm.

10/30/15: Pitched yeast and around 300mL of starter medium into wort ~24 hours after pitching lacto.

10/31/15: Fermentation slowly started, but about 24 hours after pitching yeast, a noticeable krausen had formed and was blowing off.

11/1/15: Krausen subsided, but vigorous fermentation still underway. Looks like the lactic acid didn't lower the pH sufficiently to prevent foam degradation from the lactobacillus.

11/9/15: Fermentation has slowed over the past three days, but there is still significant activity.
