# Add one or more cultures of [[Brettanomyces]]. Optionally, also pitch a culture of [[Pediococcus]] and/or bottle dregs from commercial sours (see [[Commercial_Sour_Beer_Inoculation|Commercial Sour Beer Inoculation]] for more details on using commercial bottle dregs). For more ''funky'' Brett flavors, do not make a starter for the Brett.
# Age for 6-18 months, or longer if desired.
# For the last two months of aging, fruit, spices, and/or oak can be added directly into the fermenter(see [[Soured Fruit Beer]] and [[Soured_Herb,_Spice,_and_Vegetable_Beer|Soured Herb, Spice, and Vegetable Beer]]). Also consider [[Blending]] with other sour beers.
