Tasting Notes
Acidity gets off the charts, this beer really puckers.
recipe is simply 65% pale 2 row and 35% flaked grain of your choice. do a triple decoction and adjust protein rest for the flaked grain you choose. For a mash out decoction bring the mash to 85c and sparge with 85c water. this helps to pasteurize the mash. lauter to a sanitized vessel and pitch a starter of lacto grown from grain once temperature reaches 40c(100g grain and 1L of 1.030 wort). At 24-36 hours pitch your 1L starter of brettanomyces. Ferment for 30 days and keg.
 
I have one of these going right now. Mine is 70:30 Pilsner:wheat, no flaked malt. I did a standard (for me) mash in a 10 gallon rubbermaid at ~155 F and mash-hopped. I didn't make any attempts to sterilize, I just sparged it out into a kettle as though I was going to boil, then chilled with an immersion chiller and pitched it into my "Carboy of Truth" where I have made several sour beers on a Wyeast Lambic blend.
