So back in June I brewed my Christmas beer. Based on a clone of 'st Berndard'. It turned out a bit stronger than expected at 12.8%. Sadly it didn't carb. I suspect the high alcohol killed the yeast. The beer is great and I've been happy with it as it is. But I'd love to try it a little bit...

Anyone know if the dregs from a couple my brett beers will be enough to inoculate a new batch of beer after primary fermentation with brewers yeast? Or is it best to just shell out and buy a fresh vial?

Hi all, Anyone know what sour beers are bottle conditioned and available over here? I racked a beer fermented with wlp655 into secondary last night and would like to add some dregs. Looking at the bottle conditioned beer thread I see that Cantillon would be suitable. Not sure if I can source...
