I just ordered Roeselare and plan on making a sour soon. I'm just going to pitch that to get it as sour as possible. I've heard various responses on the oxygen debate. At this point, I'm thinking glass over plastic to avoid excess oxygen and it turning to vinegar. I think I'll use an oak dowel but when should I put that in? From the beginning? a few months in? How will the dowel affect the final character of the beer? Any other thoughts on the topic are welcome too.
