I connected the outlet hoses to a 12-port drip system manifold that I found at home depot (similar to this http://www.amazon.com/IRRIGATION-53755-STRIPE-9-OUTLET-MANIFOLD/dp/B000UJH6F8). From there, I just added a standpipe and modified a cap so that a bubble lock could be inserted.<br /><br />I didn't intentionally add oxygen, however when I filled up the jars, the wort did splash around a little in the process. Since I've been happy with a few brett beers brewed in the presence of oxygen and without, my verdict is still out. To me it seems like you can still develop a lot of those traditional brett characteristics in either situation. What have you found?<br /><br />I'd love to hear your results on the temperature experiment too if you decide to do one!Black Alley Brewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337960416356160924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730986648517576592.post-24029663829428989602011-09-23T08:09:22.100-07:002011-09-23T08:09:22.100-07:00This is a great experiment.

It looks like you drilled a hole then used irrigation nipples to aquarium hoses. But what is it connected to?<br /><br />You also did not add oxygen, correct? I have found this is one of the biggest factors on Brett fermentations.<br /><br />One aspect that I want to look into that is not in Chad's paper is the temperature factor. If Sacc yeast is so sensitive to it then why not Brett yeast. And maybe different strains are more or less sensitive.Jeffrey Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520169652639837640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730986648517576592.post-8523617760672159822011-08-30T16:04:52.810-07:002011-08-30T16:04:52.810-07:00I just bottled the beers about a week and a half a...I just bottled the beers about a week and a half ago. Once they're fully carbonated, I'm going to hold an initial blind tasting with some friends and afterwards, I'll post a full writeup. I'm really curious myself and looking forward to the results!Black Alley Brewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337960416356160924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730986648517576592.post-33450245106091068722011-08-26T07:04:18.926-07:002011-08-26T07:04:18.926-07:00Hi,
