My first thought was doing a higher octane stout of some sort.

A high gravity RIS would rock. However, I didn't add much to the last project other than 5G of beer.
BTW, any chance of me scoring a few bottles of the current batch?
Explosivebeer: I haven't talked to you much lately. Still owe something for the cherries that went it. Let me know how much my share would have been and I'll compensate you.
See...this is my hesitation on doing another batch. Not much commitment on doing it. I had only planned on doing 10 of the last one but had to bump that up to 20 because we fell short, some folks dropped out, etc. I know have a ton of this stuff and NO idea what to do with it all. I can't drink it all and no one else in the else is a sour fan. I would love to do a new batch but we need more folks to jump in. Maybe I should start a new thread?
As for the previous batch, I've been sampling as it carbonates. It's very interesting but not quite as sour as I'd like. There's a lot of barnyard and complexity but it doesn't have that hard sour edge that I enjoy. Regardless, it's a very interesting beer and I think it will continue to get better.
I wonder if this is because we fermented them out too low before adding them to the barrel. If I recall both my batches were right around 1.010 before dumping them in. You mentioned previously about stopping them at 1.020 so the bugs have some sugar to feed on...I believe the final gravity on Saturday was 1.008.
Though I am listed as the "brewer" I included everyone's name or handle on the entry form. This was a group effort. Well done all.
Black, you coming to pick up your portion anytime soon!?!
