Extract Flanders Red Update:
Upon the advise of numerous posters in this thread and others (thanks!), I racked this batch to my secondary fermenter last night. I tasted it while doing so and the flavor is spot on for a Flanders Red. Tasted a bit like Rodenbach mixed with Jolly Pumpkin's Rouge (without the sour bite of course since it's only been 1 month). The color is also spot on. Now I'll be watching for pellicle and leaving it along for a year. Guess I'll just have to get another 5 gallon secondary so I can keep up my brewing pace.
