Ive recently purchased 2 smack packs of Roseleare. I had planned on modifying a Founders Breakfast Stout clone, S-04 in the primary, and Roseleare in the secondary, just as an experiment.
I'm a huge fan of Jolly Pumpkin, especially the Madrugada Obscura. Today, I finally found a local store that had a few bottles of the Obscura and La Roja, so I bought a couple of each.
Although I have no plans on what to do with the dregs, I do want to harvest them from these bottles. Just curious on the best way to do this, and what I can expect on the life of the dregs. I was thinking of just sterilizing a mason jar, leaving some sterile water in it, and pouring the dregs in it. I'm guessing this should be good, but if there is a better way, I'm open to suggestions.
I may be a month or two out before I utilize the dregs, as I've got a backlog of recipes I'm planning on brewing. I just want to make sure I can keep them viable, and I'm all about trying to learn how to put them to good use. I'll be making my first attempt at a sour in a couple weeks.
