I ordered some last week from MDHB... planning out my Flanders red recipe

I have a pack of that Brett C that I will be putting in a historical porter on Thursday. I do plan to use the other two while they are out too. I am into all these Brett blends recently, they had some in that Old Ale blend last month too. Hopefully they sell well and this is the beginning of a trend.

I am in the very early stages of learning about the sour side. I am not 100% sold on it yet, and to date have only had a few that I can honestly say that I liked. The Krieks I have tried have been a little too much for my IPA loving ways. Neighbor brought over an Avery Fifteen and an Avery Brabant. Both were awesome. Long story short, I thought I might have to try a batch, and was convinced when I saw the new Wyeast offerings in this months BYO. There do not seem to be the huge variety of recipes in the DB... Any advice, recipe suggestions, etc. for a comfortable brewer looking to expand their horizons a bit?

Brewed one up with 3789-PC Trappist Blend today. Should fall somewhere between a Belgian pale and a Belgian blonde, but hoppier than both. Can't wait to try it in a few months, this is my 4th brett beer I have going right now thanks to Wyeast and their generosity with Brett strains this year.

I ordered this in for a future brew, my first Trappist. Recipe undecided.

If you can't tell from my posts already I have three Roeselare and one Brett C. in my fridge. I decided to jump all in.

Well, like a lot of other things in my life I did this a$$ backwards. I trust Jason's taste. Plus the description and ingredients of a Flanders Red sounded tasty, so I bought a pack of the Roselare. After that I picked up a bottle of Duchesse de Bourgogne and tried it the other night. Not a big fan!

So, what I'm wondering is if this is a good representation of the style or what will be produced with a recipe similar to http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f72/spurhund-zunge-95539/ ?

What are the alternatives that can be brewed with this yeast? I'm looking at a Flanders Brown.

What did you not like about it, Herm? Too sour, not sour enough? Then I can make suggestions about appropriate recipes.

A Flanders Brown (Oud Bruin) is considerably less sour and more malty than a Flanders Red.
