Tips on fermenting a bretted IPA

[sgmbrewer]

Says it in the title, I've researched a few recipes but would like to hear from any first hand experiences of brewing bretted IPAs / favourite recipes / things to avoid etc.

It might be worth having a read through the Mixed Fermentation thread and asking there.

The only advice I can give you is I tried a Brett. C aged Porter last year, though primary fermentation was with MJ M36. However, it wasn't until a heat wave came and the fermentation temperature rise above about 27-28degC that it seemed to do much.

So based on that the one bit of advice I can give is I believe you want it warmer than a normal ale fermentation.

Thanks! Didn’t realise that there was a dedicated thread - good to learn your experience on fermentation temperature
