* Some microbiologists have witnessed that''B. claussenii'' is very slow to ferment wort by itself. If fermentation finishes in two weeks, this might be due to contamination of another yeast <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1278391665522378/?comment_id=1278392922188919&reply_comment_id=1279087198786158&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Lance Shaner on MTF regarding ''B. claussenii'' attentuation. 04/06/2016.]</ref>.
* Not all strains can ferment maltose, which is almost 50% of the sugar composition of wort. These strains should be avoided for 100% ''Brettanomyes'' fermentations. See [[Brettanomyces#Carbohydrate_Metabolism |''Brettanomyces '' carbohydrate metabolism]] for more details.
