good website on sours

I've had this bookmarked for awhile and referenced it a lot in the beginning of my knowledge for brewing sours. Thought I should share it with the community.

Brewing Flemish Red Ale, by Raj B. Apte

Wow, that was very interesting and informative. Thank you!

Another good page that focuses on lambic is A Liddil Lambic Lesson: The Cult of the Biohazard Lambic Brewers

Thanks for the site!
I was looking to make a Flanders Red. I heard Jamil's brewcast and recipe on the subject, and this site put me over the edge.

I've also thoroughly enjoyed Jim Liddil's site tremendously, though it makes Lambic brewing look pretty intimidating.

It seems like many of the recipes here, like Jamil's, call for the Wyeast Roselare blend. I think I'm going to go that route.

Thanks again.

I think the Roselare blend will be back out in a few months (don't remember which month they said). I did hear from Brian @Wyeast that the lambic blend and roselare blend have the same yeast/bugs except they have different proportions.

Babblebelt is pretty much the best homebrew resource on the web for sours. There's a ton of knowledge there, and you should be able to get good answers there.

I like the Wild Ales book a lot. This thread makes me want to brew another flanders. Maybe I'll do an aged pale next. hmm.
