    made a brett starter on Thursday (wlp644). I've heard they are supposed to go ~10 days. This thing looks completely cleaned out already. Go ahead and brew or ride it out ? Thanks

    Only used that strain once for a complete brett fermented IPA. I did a 2 stage build up over the course of a week for a 1.050 OG wort. Took it down to 1.010 in 6 days after. I would go 7 days at least.

    Maybe step up your starter? Depends on the OG of your recipe and target pitching rate, though.
