Does anyone have a brett they have washed?
Thomas - Is there any reason we couldn't have brett in our yeast library?

My Brett. B. arrived today
Planning to do a 100% brett beer with it. I will wash and contribute to yeast library when done.

I have a wyeast 3278 lambic blend that i could also donate to the library. I'll put a small amount aside when i make my starter in a few weeks.

The only point I'd make is that a mixed culture will be difficult to put in the library... since so far as I understand, the process Thomas uses is meant for pure cultures. Not to mention that the relative concentrations of the different strains will be real difficult to maintain on that medium.
I think we'd be better off sticking with pure cultures - passing around liters of sour innoculant is one thing, but scaling down to slants just doesn't sit right with me.
Thomas: thoughts?
Regardless guys, thanks a lot for contributing

True dat, its no problem to make a pure culture of Brett (I think thats what steve implied?), however a mixed culture slant is not impossible, just an extra step. But I'd rather not bother with mixing cultures.

Right on - sdixon was talking about a pure strain, but if someone fancies a sour (specifically lambic styled) starter - lemme know; between myself and the leprechaun we got you covered

Will be bottling the "silence of the lambics" soon - seen mixed results (from slow w/pellicle to no action at all) with natural carbing, so leaning towards forcing w/bottling atm.

Yup, mine is a pure Brett. B. (Wyeast 5112). I also want to get my hands on as many Brett stains as I can as I understand that is what makes for some of the best tastes in a 100% brett beer. East Coast Yeast have some interesting blends and will do club orders on 20 or more bottles. I would like to get pure bret strains though:
Brett B. (have it)
Brett C.
Brett L.
Brett A.
Brett N.

PS - Yes I would like a sour starter whenever you have one available Richard.
