Followed Chad Y.'s suggestion to store it at room temp.
Smelled yeasty, no sourness or odd aromas.
Took until Tuesday morning for the krausen to appear.
Going to make a Brett IPA on the 16th. Along with a Bravo/Mosaic Pale Ale.
Haven't brewed a batch since August!
:jnj



Did you feed the brett at all during that time period since last March?

I just started the boil on my APA and I'm heating the strike water for a Brett Trois Saison. It's sunny and 45 in KCMO. Great day to brew beer.
