I think I may know the answer already, but I’ll ask just in case. For a fast and funky beer(Brett and Sac co pitched), I have previously made two separate starters of each. Generally Brett roughly a week out and then Sac a couple of days. I’ve only one stir plate at the moment so I have dedicated that and the flask to Brett and done the rest in a mason jar.
It’s worked, but some of the yeast I’m looking at using hasn’t been used in a while. I’m wondering if I could pitch the Sac into the Brett starter after it’s been going a couple of days to give it the benefit of the stir plate. For reference in this instance I’ll be using WY5526 and WLP001, with gluco and then l. Planterum after 36 hrs. Obviously 001 doesn’t have distinctive character to maintain, I’m most interested in it to help attenuate quickly and let the bugs make the flavor.
Honestly I suspect I’m trying to have my cake and eat it too, but thought I’d ask. Of course pitching two separate strong starters is most ideal. But if it were possible I’d think this method would be the place. Moderate gravity, starter(s), and gluco help immensely. I imagine my idea is capable of the task, however I’m just unsure if it could do it consistently and reliably.
