    I brewed a 100% Brett IPA with Brett Trois from White Labs. I created a huge 2-step starter similar to what I do for lagers. The grain bill was 55% wheat malt and 45% pale malt. O.G. was 1.053

    The beer took off in just a few hours and I let it sit in primary for 2 weeks @ 80ยบ F. I racked to secondary and the beer was only at 1.013. I checked a week later and it was still right at 1.013. I want to dry hop and get this bottled ASAP so the hop character doesn't fade. Any thoughts on how long I should wait to bottle?

    Turns out Brett Trois isn't actually Brett, which explains why it performs like it does. Probably done, dry hop and proceed!
