I brewed up 10 gallons of Flemish Red (Jamil's recipe) and used WLP001 for primary. I split up the batches into two five gallon carboys and will be pitching Wyeast's Roselare Blend in one ..... and White Labs Flemish Red Blend in the other. Per Jamil's instruction, I planned on racking to secondary once the gravity got down to 1.020.
Took gravity readings yesterday after 7 days in primary and the gravity had dropped down to 1.012. Jamil suggests leaving residual sugars so the bugs will have food to eat to complete fermentation/souring.
Question: Should i make a small wort of dme or corn sugar and pitch that into the secondary to give the bacteria enough food? Any advice and/or suggestions are appreciated.
