So I brewed up my first oud bruin this past weekend and its fermenting away on Roeselare. I've got plenty in my pipeline, especially for my designated "funky keg", so I'm not in a huge hurry or anything. But I'm definitely wondering if I'm going to have the patience to wait for the full 18 months that Wyeast recommends.
So, from those of you who have used Roeselare, what type of time table have you experienced as far as taste/funk/sourness? Are things tasting good by month 6? Great by a year? Spectacular by 18 months? Anybody keg/bottle after shorter aging times and still get really tasty beers?
Truthfully, this is my first full-on sour, so even if you haven't used Roeselare specifically, but have insights on your other sour projects, any insight is greatly appreciated.
