I have really wanted to get into single strain 100% Brett fermentations for awhile now. I did a Brett L Oud Bruin in Spring that was supposedly mixed with some Lacto (no lactic acid in the beer though), and I have wanted to brew a hoppy Brett beer as the fruitiness of the Brett is a great compliment to fruity hops. Seeing as this is a split batch with a Session White IPA I don't really want a super fruity beer for this batch so I did a larger addition of Chinook to get a substantial amount of Pine with the Simcoe in there as well.
I decided to mash a little higher than normal for this beer since it is a smaller beer. I didn't want it to end up in the lower single digits on the FG and be thin, especially since Brett beers typically lack body. The high percentage of flaked products, the flaked oats, and the higher levels of Chloride compared to Sulfate should make for a decent finish on this batch even if the FG dips a little lower.
