I brewed up 5 gallons of the golden sour recipe from the Rare Barrel yesterday. I pitched WLP 655 and I am a bit surprised to see fermentation take off already.
My plan is to let it get nice and sour and then rack it on to a mess of Nanking cherries that are in my freezer.
My questions: how long should I leave the beer in the primary before adding the cherries? How many lb of cherries should I add? My thought is 2-3 lb per gallon, as I want this to be strongly cherry flavoured.
Any advice is appreciated. This will be my 1st intentional sour.
