Quick update on this. I brewed it 1/4 kept in primary till bottled on 6/6. Waited 6 weeks to try one and have had several since. Came out really well. It's dry with plenty of brett and the lemon comes through surprisingly well. It was a great beer over the hot summer days. I plan on doing this...

I picked up 5 lbs of fresh Oregon cherries yesterday (3lbs rainier, 2 lbs dark/sweet). I tried to find sour cherries but couldn't so i settled on what was fresh and tasty from the farmer's market. Pitting that many cherries is a bit of a chore. I froze them last night and thawed them today...

Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed some ECY01.

Thanks! I may just make this over the weekend. I'll be sure to give updates as I go.

it settled down to this, i'll be adding it to a basic pale recipe on friday. Thanks for the tips Oldsock

any ideas for a partial grain version of this recipe? i've been thinking of this style as my next brew. Hop additions for a 5 gallon batch? Thanks for any help, i'm new at converting recipes to my setup.

flash vs no flash can make it look very different, here is mine taken back to back last night one with flash one without.

Saison brett almost 6 weeks in. Just a little one, but it's my first sour beer so i'm excited to see it forming

Another option: I have 2 fresh sours in primary right now, a Saison (1 month), and a brown (2 weeks). I could just dump half into each and add to the bugs already in those beers?

I work at a beer distributor and I see all the kegs that come back from bars and such. I got back a keg of Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere back today and had an idea. There was still a little on the bottom of the keg and hooked up a party tap to it and let it spit and bubble into a jar to get what I...

I started a supplication clone a few weeks ago that had a similar smell. I pitched white labs abbey ale yeast (530) , sour bug mix 1 (655), and the dregs of a supplication (no starters). The next day I had a vigorous fermentation but a strong nail polish smell coming from the airlock. 12 hours...

You're in for a treat. Cascade makes great beers, I actually had a pint of their Blueberry sour yesterday on tap. They aren't cheap though, most are in the $20+ a bottle range. I brewed my first ever sour yesterday actually. It's a saison with whitelabs670 and the dregs from a Logsdon Seizoen...

I see you are in Oregon, without much of any sour brewing experience i think the sour beers from Logsdon, Block15, and Cascade should all be available (amongst many others) and all make amazing beers. i'm sure you could brew with dregs from those and come up with an interesting blend.

I brewed this afternoon. Everything went smoothly, i pitched the 670 (no starter) as well as the dregs from a logsdon seizoen bretta i drank while brewing. I did my usual saison recipe bumped up with a little more dme (og 1.059) with 2oz of liberty (1@60, 1@15min) as well as some crushed...

Thanks for all the replys! I did manage to find some 670 at the local shop, although it says best by 1.9.13. That's cutting it awful close, should i bring up a starter? Otherwise, i'll be brewing my usual saison recipe, and just add the dregs of a logsdon and the vile of 670 as usual and keep it...
