I'm baaaack!
Nothing screams.... Litterally... Long term sours projects like a new baby! I mean who's got time to actually drink!
Yesterday I took and brewed our first split batch sour. 5 gallons have been intentionally soured with a raw malt to get "lacto" infected to "kettle" sour and the other 5 gallons were left out and exposed to the elements for the mild February night. Hopefully catching lighting in a carboy with the great Maine flora that's hovering in the air.
The spontaneous coolship version will be 18 to 24 months, aged in cherry and served kriek style.
The quick kettle sour will be ready in just 2 months, dry hopped and on blueberry.
