Hi,
I am about to embark on my first sour beer attempt and had a question about what this would produce.
I was planning on taking Jamil's flanders brown recipe from BCS and kettle souring it for a day or two and then boiling and adding hops. Then I was going to add cherry concentrate and give it a 100% brett fermentation. Not sure on the strain yet, either lambicus or a blend. Then age on oak.
My assumption is that this would give me something similar to a flanders brown with more cherry, and less complexity. But it sounded like it might be a nice American sour produced relatively quickly.
I have never worked with brett or made a sour beer. Am I off base on taking this approach? Anyone ever brew anything like this? What was the beer like?
