Brett bottling

Alright, I know this may have been discuss previously but I couldn’t find the thread.
I have a saison that I added Brett b. on secondary. It has been in secondary for 7 months and the gravity is stable and I think it should be OK to bottle. My question is; do I just use regular 22oz bomber style bottles or should I go for the Belgium 750 ml to avoid beer bombs if there is any since i still need to add the priming sugar and I do not know how the Brett will react to it.

Thanks for your help

Regular bottles will be fine if you carbonate to normal levels and are sure the Brett is done doing it’s thing.

I think  it has since its been steady at 1.010 for the last 3 weeks but it is brett so who knows

I wouldn’t bottle yet. Brett can take beers down to near or even below 1.000. I’d wait at least another month and test again.

okay, Thanks. would it be possible to bottle it as it is in belgian bottles either cork only or the crown finish ones? and should it be capped or corked.

Possibly,  but you could end up with overcarbed beer. I think the general rule is .001 = 1 volume. I’d wait at least another few weeks and measure again.

I don’t know if there is a big difference between capped or corked Belgian bottles. The capped ones sure are easier.

Thanks Stevie

I recently made a Brett b beer and bottled it and here’s how it went for me. My saison yeast stalled at 1.020 so I pitched Brett. The layer of penicle formed and I let the carboy sit for 6 weeks on the Brett. I never read the fg and decided to bottle.
I use a bottling bucket, with a silicon tube and plastic bottle filler. I used priming sugar and 750ml swing tops. I have had no bottle bombs so far, the beer has been finished in bottled since around August. I brewed the beer on April first, just had a bottle last night actually.

Me personally, I think you should be fine. If I remember correctly, I used .75 of a cup priming sugar.

I also made another saison with the white labs sour mix hat has Brett. Followed the same process, and that beer hasn’t had any issues either.

I recommend swing tops because they have worked for me and the 750s have pretty thick glass.

Cheers.

Brett “can” go to 1.000 but I’ve had it finish at 1.010 before. The problem is that it’s slow, and “can” stall and restart. Age won’t hurt it fortunately,  so just make sure you take two separate final gravity samples about 6 weeks apart that end up being identical before you bottle. And I believe in heavy Belgian glass rather than worrying about thin glass exploding in my hand…

Just read this last night. Bottling lagers with Brett. I want to give it a shot, but I’d like to have an example first.
