So me and my GF where at a beer tasting last year and had a wonderful sour(Not sure what it

With no traffic (for example Friday mid-day, like hitting the DC area between 10 and 2) you're
better off on the Beltway (495). On a Friday, it starts to get lousy around 3 o'clock.I

junior, it really depends on the day/time as to whether you'd want to go around DC (495 aka

Also, I'm 99% Cuvee Renee is pastuerized, so basically you are fermenting only with Brett. The
dregs are dead in the Lindemanns, nothing in there. No wonder there's barely any sourness,
there's only t...
Posted in thread: Ready to bottle most if not all & tasting notes from my first three sours on 05-20-2013 at 05:11 PM
tugbucket, are you sure about those FG readings? They seem a bit high for beers with brett/bugs
that have aged for that long.

Now onto a bottle of nicely aged RIS, I've managed to drink these sparingly over the last
couple years and it was worth the patience
