Notes

Farmhouse Ale brewed with Laurent, with WLP670 'houseculture':
WLP670, yeast blend from Geuze, Brett. C. and Orval Brett. Taken from a previously fermented saison with this blend.

Start of ferment too cold (12 C), fermented on 24 C. Lot of fruity esters coming from fermentation. reached 1.013 in 3 days, ramped to 26 after 4 days.

5 weeks in, thick pellicle and gravity is 1.006. Smells very funky and bretty, also getting slightly tart.

Tasted after two weeks in the bottle:
Very very dry. Hops coming through nicely with subtle funk and a bit tart. Comment from Laurent: Like a hoppy Chardonay. Very vinous and dry indeed. Perfect beer for a warm day now. Really excited for how this will be in a few months.

Super super awesome, shame everything is gone already. Turned out pretty tart.
