Brett Also Brewday

More is better, right? Time to add to the growing fun that has become my-now-long-term Brettanomyces experiment. Warmer weather is leading to active fermentations: as with the second run of custersianus, the 100/ECY04 version is currently trying to add a permanent contribution to my house character.
