it may never form one. you also may not get the character you want from Roes on the first pitch, or it may take a LONG time to get there. do you get Jolly Pumpkin up there in AK? you could add some dregs and get things moving along nicely. possibly some Anchorage brett dregs too, what I have tasted from them makes me want to toss some in a beer. I have tasted a lot of one dimensional sour homebrews done with just Roeselare, I suggest adding bottle dregs from a commercially available sour to increase complexity. however, when you are thinking about getting ready to take your current beer off the bugs and transfer or keg/bottle....plan ahead, brew another sour base and pitch THAT onto your current bugs. Roeselare gets stronger on re-pitching
