Great video! Glad to see the excitement when talking about a new product. I haven’t tried brewing a Brett in my homebrew experience but am a huge fan. I agree, a saison would pair beautifully with the style. SafAle S-04 was my first dry yeast I used and I hope to see more people get to use it in their brew day if they win!
I think the last time I was this excited to try a yeast was when Kveik came out in the states commercially. This would really be interesting to use for some historical British beers to kind of see more how they were drinking their aged porters and autumn ales. Cheers guys! Chop for chop, brew for brew!
This is why i love to home brew beer. I love the anticipation and sampling over time to compare the difference in age and or technique used in order to use those techniques down the road in order to improve my recipes and techniques for future brews.
Currently fermenting a pale-ish French saison with 1% special-b for a touch of color and flavor. Once that’s done, I have a pack of br-8 to bottle condition and I absolutely cannot wait!
I am new to brewing in on still in my first brew from one of your kits. I dont know what it would go with but I am always willing to try. Thank you for your gear and info
I have never worked with Brett before but I have some home grown hops that I think would work with it. I would make a amber ale and add the Brett and let it condition in a carboy for a few months and then dry hop a few days before kegging. Keg and carboy would be my Brett equipment from then on.
This is a new technique for me and I've never tried anything like it. It sounds interesting and may craft a batch to try it out and see how it evolves.
I had Brett unintentionally get into an Alt once, which luckily turned out to be a tasty lesson on proper sanitation. I've been thinking about trying to recreate that Alt and this seems like an easy way to do it.
I am a new brewer only have two batches under my belt. Next beer I make is a saison probably and would be awesome to be able to use the Brett for that. I fell in love with Brett when I had a Brent IPA 5 years ago and whenever I see a Brett on the tap list at the breweries I visit I have to try it.
Honestly, this video is the first I've heard of Bret Style. I'm a primarily dark beer guy, so this would be a great addition to my dark lineup for this year.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. It is techniques like this that most people would never hear of let alone try on there own. With your video i think a good amount of people will try it out. I know i will.
I did a Bourbon Barrel Porter that became infected, turned it into a Flanders Brown ( Oud bruin) with a Brett, absolutely stunning peticle. Took over a year, but turned out beautifully. Wish I could share a pic here, looked like Ramen Noodles when pictured at 10x zoom. Next up is a Belgium Quad, so this would be alot of fun to try. Thanks for the opportunity.
This sounds really interesting. I would think a saison made with the dregs from a DuPont saison would be a prime candidate for this. I look forward to giving this a shot in future brews.
I think this would be great in a Flanders red! I love those original styles but I shy away from the recently (passed I hope?) sour craze. But all your notes sound perfect in that style. Then, I would probably try a Russian imperial stout to get those fruity and musty notes....hmmm... So many ideas!!
Love this give away, and Brett beers! Would really like to play around with this new BR-8 in a English Pale Ale. I feel that using noble hops along with the barnyard "blanket" from the Brett would pair awesome together. Very nice video production and well laid out. Well done! Would be happy to win, but will mostly likely look to brew with this new bottling yeast even if I do not win. Cheers!
Great video. Keep making them!! My one concern is how brett can colonize and take over a brewhouse. Once it gets established I didn't think you could get it out. I do like to make beers of other styles, and I brew in a barn also used to make wine. Since this only goes in at bottling, all the regular brew equipment is clean. The bottling set-up should be in someone's garage or back deck and the bottling line equipment kept separate.
I would probably try a jalapeño ale with that Brett. But on a side note what made me really interesting is the ability to not over carbonate. When you are experimenting it definitely happens.
Great video! I have yet to mess around with bret because I don't have the extra equipment that I want to "contaminate" with it. But I'm thinking about buying a whole new starter kit to designate as my funky set. As for other styles. I would love to try the br08 in your fresh squished ipa. Since it already has the fruity flavor going on. But other than that I'm a big fan of browns and Belgians.
I am excited to try BR-8 in my next brew I have brewed a variety of Scottish Ales and enjoyed my last Wee Heavy. I think any full bodied malty beer will be worth trying.
I haven't used Brett yet. I would to give it a go. I am thinking a amber ale with rye or even a nice west coast APA might be okay. Looking forward to trying it out.
Id be interested in trying the brett in styles such as an old english ale or a Trappist ale. Maybe even more domestic styles like a barley wine or a imperial stout..
No prior experience with Brett, but just getting into home brewing and already have Caribou and some porter kits on the way. Stoked to hear you lads mentioning those as good candidates and will be keen to give it a try if I end up in the 5. And if not... Well, at least I still have that Caribou and the porters coming soon!
That looks awesome. I would be trying it with a porter or a hefewizen that I have brewing currently. Just starting out brewing but I'm really enjoying the different beers you have and how it changes even weeks/months after it's been bottled.
I would love to see this used in a mash for distillation. Cider to a brandy, rye mash, etc. maybe have a dedicated barrel, mash, ferment, then Brett, to barrel for aging, distill, taste, then back to the barrel for barrel aging. You’d get a great barrel infection, but may also be a great way to layer the characteristics for a final product.
I’d like to try a batch of Mosaic IPA paired with the wyeast British ale (Bretts homeland) yeast. Similar notes without Brett, intrigued to try with and see how or if it accentuates
I am a new brewer, so this is the first I have heard of Brett. I would love to try the Scottish ale with Brett. I love the idea of adding flavor during bottling.
A few years ago I was making a brown ale and after two weeks in the carboy it started to get a pellicle. Since it was now going to be a sour beer I decided to add some Brett to it. It was the happiest accident I’ve had since I have been brewing. Tasted great to me. The wife didn’t like it and only a couple other friends liked it. Most of my friends are not into sour beers. I drank most of it. Always wanted to try that again but just haven’t been able to yet. I’ll have to try this with the Scottish Ale when I win the free goodies. 😜😜😜
I’ve never tried anything with Brett, so I’d be very interested to try some different styles. I mostly use US05 so could be interesting to shake things up a bit!
I have not done a brett beer yet, but want to give it a try. I love the Scotty's Beirwerks tshirt. My favorite brewery in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area if not in all of SWFL.
i have never brewed with Brett, but i do like sours... i think BR-8 would do well in an American Barleywine [maybe a little towards the lower gravity of the range], or for maximum disorientation use it in an NEIPA or Imperial Milk Stout - the contrast would probably be amazing!
I've never brewed with the Brett style, but having it to accent something dark and malty makes me think about how it could add a different dimension to the Nut Brown Ale I've done from Northern Brewer in the past.
It sounds wonderful and way more interesting than plain ole corn sugar ferment. Looking to give this a try with a Scottish Ale I normally brew Thanks guys!
I admit I had never heard of Brett beer. I'll have to check it out. I have made a Lambic, and it turned out pretty good. Maybe this would enhance a Lambic? Thanks for the video!
I would definitely try this with a rye IPA. It could accentuate the phenols, but I would also like to see what a Thiol enhancing yeast could add to the nose.
Great video! Glad to see the excitement when talking about a new product. I haven’t tried brewing a Brett in my homebrew experience but am a huge fan. I agree, a saison would pair beautifully with the style. SafAle S-04 was my first dry yeast I used and I hope to see more people get to use it in their brew day if they win!
I just got back into brewing after a 25 year hiatus. I am amazed at all of the new variety. I think one of my future beers will be a Brett.
Thanks for the calm presentation.
I love the idea behind this process for bottling. I will be trying it soon.
Sounds like a very interesting, complex brew. Definitely worth a look into. Love the changes happening through aging
I think the last time I was this excited to try a yeast was when Kveik came out in the states commercially. This would really be interesting to use for some historical British beers to kind of see more how they were drinking their aged porters and autumn ales. Cheers guys! Chop for chop, brew for brew!

I haven’t tried to brew a Brett beer yet but I’d love to. I’m a huge fan of the style and love how Brett can work with many different styles.
I've had Brett beers but have never brewed with it. I plan to now though. Alot of really great ideas here on what styles to try it with.
I haven't tried brewing a Brett beer yet, I would most definitely give it a try. Cheers everyone.
I make a saison every summer, and its nice to get a little of that bret flavour in there. I don't usually bottle so, I definitely ought to try that
tbh, this is the first time I've heard of Brett at all, thought I'm fairly new to homebrewing. I'd be fascinated to try experimenting with it!
Currently fermenting a pale-ish French saison with 1% special-b for a touch of color and flavor. Once that’s done, I have a pack of br-8 to bottle condition and I absolutely cannot wait!
Yeast is everything!! Nice video.
My experience with Brett is with Saison. For BR-8 i will try Dubbel and Red bitter
Haven’t heard of Brett before but looking forward to try!
This BR-8 sounds amazing! Thanks for the good work!
Only brewed one Brett beer years ago. Definitely need to get around to making another!
I have tried a Bret or Scottish Ale so I would just do that. Sounds like a fun kit.
A fruity saison would be fun with this. Brett is new to me, but I'm pumped to use this dry stuff!
I am new to brewing in on still in my first brew from one of your kits. I dont know what it would go with but I am always willing to try. Thank you for your gear and info
Just getting into homebrewing and loving it so far, this sounds like a great thing to experiment and play around with
I have never worked with Brett before but I have some home grown hops that I think would work with it. I would make a amber ale and add the Brett and let it condition in a carboy for a few months and then dry hop a few days before kegging. Keg and carboy would be my Brett equipment from then on.
This is a new technique for me and I've never tried anything like it. It sounds interesting and may craft a batch to try it out and see how it evolves.
I'd do a black ipa, then age it in a series of barrels and dry hop after a long lager-style ferment.
I had Brett unintentionally get into an Alt once, which luckily turned out to be a tasty lesson on proper sanitation. I've been thinking about trying to recreate that Alt and this seems like an easy way to do it.
Haven't brewed a Brett yet. Anxious to try!
Can't wait to try it. Glad they finally done it
I am a big fan of using Brett in Saisons and other farmhouse styles of beer.
Never tried Brett but your suggestion of using it in a heff sounds interesting.
Never used Brett, looks like something I need to try out. Great video!!
I also have never tried making Brett beers but might be interested in giving it a try, maybe on the Noel de Saison Kit.
I haven't tried Brett yet. But I'm a big fan of Scottish Ales and Belgians, so I would probably try those first.
I am a new brewer only have two batches under my belt. Next beer I make is a saison probably and would be awesome to be able to use the Brett for that. I fell in love with Brett when I had a Brent IPA 5 years ago and whenever I see a Brett on the tap list at the breweries I visit I have to try it.
I recently had an expermental brett stout at a brewery that was pretty good. I may try recreating it with BR-8 to see how it develops over time
love your kits alot😀
Honestly, this video is the first I've heard of Bret Style. I'm a primarily dark beer guy, so this would be a great addition to my dark lineup for this year.
Love watching the videos.

I haven't brewed with Brett yet so I guess the kit
Is this comp/giveaway for the USA only or can we in Australia enter
@@mattsawdy9747 Gah. Sorry, we only ship to U.S. We should have said that in the video. Our apologies.

@text-4281 WOW, seriously...this is so cool. Never won anything before. Sending that direct message momentarily. Thanks guys, made my day...!!! 💝💝💝
@@abigdawg025 That is apparetly a bot. Do not engage!
This sounds really interesting. I would think a saison made with the dregs from a DuPont saison would be a prime candidate for this. I look forward to giving this a shot in future brews.
I really want to try Brett out but was worried about gushers from over fermentation. This sounds like a great product.
That sounds tasty! Thanks for the information. Sounds like it would be interesting in a nice coffee or chocolate porter.
I think this would be great in a Flanders red! I love those original styles but I shy away from the recently (passed I hope?) sour craze. But all your notes sound perfect in that style. Then, I would probably try a Russian imperial stout to get those fruity and musty notes....hmmm... So many ideas!!
Cool! Looking forward to trying this even if I don’t win!
I am loving Brett beers more and more!

This is exciting to see, because I’ve been looking into some recipes that would use a Brett yeast.
Great video. Keep making them!!

Don’t add the hard stuff at bottling time, rookie mistake
I have been hearing a lot about Brett. I’d definitely like to give it a try.
Great video! I have yet to mess around with bret because I don't have the extra equipment that I want to "contaminate" with it. But I'm thinking about buying a whole new starter kit to designate as my funky set.

This would be fantastic to try.

I would like to brew a Belgian Dubbel and use the br8. I have never had a Brett but this makes me want to
I haven't used Brett yet. I would to give it a go. I am thinking a amber ale with rye or even a nice west coast APA might be okay. Looking forward to trying it out.
I will be honest, I have not had any opportunity to try any Brett bears. It's a travesty I know but I am super excited to try this.
Id be interested in trying the brett in styles such as an old english ale or a Trappist ale. Maybe even more domestic styles like a barley wine or a imperial stout..
Stones Enjoy After IPA was awesome and funky. Definitely would try it with something like that.
I haven't used Brett yet. Would either brew a Saison or an English brown ale.
I have not tried it yet but I would love to try it with some ciders. Maybe do a comparison with the Philly sour and this
No prior experience with Brett, but just getting into home brewing and already have Caribou and some porter kits on the way. Stoked to hear you lads mentioning those as good candidates and will be keen to give it a try if I end up in the 5. And if not... Well, at least I still have that Caribou and the porters coming soon!

I have never tried Brett but wonder how this would go with an Octoberfest type beer. Would love to try!
Just ordered my starter kit not too long ago. This might make an interesting second batch.
Great video. Getting my NB shipment today. Can’t wait.
Sounds pretty interesting. This is going on my to brew list
It's been a while since I have done a dubble. Looks like I'll try this on my trappist recipe.
Getting good results from dry Philly Sour. Can't wait to try this easy option for a Brett!
I am a new brewer, so this is the first I have heard of Brett. I would love to try the Scottish ale with Brett. I love the idea of adding flavor during bottling.
I would definitely use it in the Scottish ale. A saison sounds fantastic.

I'll definitely be giving this a try. Thanks for the vid
Ready to try this one out
Interested to try Brett. I think it would be fun with a Patersbier, Roggenbier , or a Rye Saison.
Sounds like a good recipe to add to the upcoming brew list
Brewing with Brett 🤘🍺🍻
I’ve never tried Brett but it sounds very interesting, might try it with my next batch of Caribou Slobber
I've never brewed with the Brett style, but having it to accent something dark and malty makes me think about how it could add a different dimension to the Nut Brown Ale I've done from Northern Brewer in the past.
Great video as always. I think Saison would work good with this yeast.Prost!
Going to have to check out Bret!
Haven't tried it but plan to!
It sounds wonderful and way more interesting than plain ole corn sugar ferment. Looking to give this a try with a Scottish Ale I normally brew Thanks guys!
I’ve got a fruited sour going on that I add extra packaging yeast that I would try BR-8 instead of a cbc or wine strain
Can't wait to take a crack at this!
I like dark. Thinking that it could be interesting to add Brett to a stout. It may just give it an unusual note that may be interesting. Thanks
I have used the Roeselare blend for some saisons and ciders. This sounds like an interesting variation. Would consider using it with ciders and meads.
Would love to try Brett with Cashmere Blonde Ale All Grain!
I admit I had never heard of Brett beer. I'll have to check it out. I have made a Lambic, and it turned out pretty good. Maybe this would enhance a Lambic? Thanks for the video!
Love to try this although gushers scare me
Haven't tried BR-8 yet but it sounds amazing. I would love to try it in my cherry stout.
I would definitely try this with a rye IPA. It could accentuate the phenols, but I would also like to see what a Thiol enhancing yeast could add to the nose.
Hey James, you're one of our winners! Would you please email me ASAP at so I can get your info for the prizes. Cheers!
Making sure you saw our last comment about winning, James!
I have not brewed with Brett- but certainly will if I win the giveaway! I’d love to see something in a future subscription box!
I'd like to try this with fruit heavy beers.
