hops for a sour porter

[Thakog]

I'll be brewing a sour porter next month using 2nd gen rosalere and I'm wondering about hops.

The base porter recipe I have uses 3 different kinds of hops, but I don't know how much it will matter in a sour beer that will be aged for 12-18 months. Any thoughts? Right now I'm leaning towards just finding something fairly neutral and using that to hit 14-15ish IBUs.

contrary to what is commonly posted, i'm convinced BU doesn't have as much effect on lacto production as is thought, however the combination of sour and bitter is brutally bad... i'd get it down to under 10 for taste only...

Well, it will be around 7-8%.... I don't think the hops will be noticeable at 14. According to beersmith my original flanders was around 13...
