Subject: storing Brettanomyces 

I've got a 5 gallon carboy of a Lambic style, using Wyeast 3278, 
that's been slowly chugging away for some time now. I need to move it 
and the only place is next to other carboys filled with various beers 
and meads. Is there anything I should do to keep the Brett out of the 
others, or do I even have anything to worry about?

Joe, 

  I've only used the sorbate for stabilizing big sweet meads to keep them  
from carbonating in the bottles, so I haven't used it the way you need to. 

  It works by preventing re-fermentation.  It won't stop an active ferment,  
or prevent fermentation by a large healthy dose of yeast though. 

  It's not supposed to leave any flavor (but I imagine it would if you used  
too much).  Use the recommended amount on the bottle label. 

  I would use it in your case by adding it to the base beer and letting it  
sit for a while before adding the fruit.  The idea being that it would knock  
down the yeast before adding food for them.
