So I've harvested the dregs from a couple bottles and will be stepping them up. (And if I try this I will likely grab a few more bottles.) My last dreg excursion with JP seems to be going just fine on a Dubbel.
I heard Justin on Brewing Network mention a while back that somebody at a festival had a sour barleywine.
What's going to be my best course of action with a 100 IBU+ Barleywine? Make a relatively unhopped batch of wort to sour & a fully hopped batch & then blend them?
I've read Wild Ales. I know some of the bugs aren't down with hops and others don't care as much. I think I'd fully bug both batches just to see what kind of damage the hops do to the bug growth.
Just curious if anybody has looked into this. Was trying to find a style JP wasn't dabbling in.
