So I'm planning on doing a Flanders red some time in the near future. Then it dawned on me that I'll likely be moving some time in the next 6-8 months. Only 20 or so miles, not cross country or anything.
My questions if it I should brew it now, and move it, or wait until after we move? Are there going to be major drawbacks to moving a carboy full of souring beer (outside of the obvious weight/spilling risks)? Its the first of that general style I'll be brewing. I know they need a small amount of oxygen during aging, but I'd think the sloshing around would be too much aeration. Plenty of other things I can brew instead, so either way is fine with me.
Just looking for some advice!
Cheers.
