Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I figured I'd weigh in on this.
I stumbled on this thread a few months ago as I was reading wild brews for the first time. I just botteld this batch yesterday. I ended up using Jolly Pumpkin Dregs (no "normal" yeast strain to start, just the bugs). It developed a nice sourness shockingly fast (see the other threads on JP dregs for more information on this).
I think this is a great first voyage into sour beers. The recipe is not complex, and the turnaround time is not somthing you need to wait a year or more to be done. Based on how the hygrometer sample tasted, I suspect I will keep brewing this one for a long time!
