My cranberry lambic is coming along nicely after 2 months. Just transferred it out of the bucket and off the cranberries into a glass carboy to finish out aging

That looks gnarly in the best possible way.

Here's my Tart of Darkness. It's been sitting since mid November and finally started to form a pellicle. I'll post more as it grows.

That's beautiful. It really makes me appreciate whoever the first person was who took a look at something like that and said, "Yeah, I think I'll drink it."

I'm doing a one gallon spontaneous/wild yeast experiment and could use some opinion. This beer is a month in.

I know the pellicle isn't highly formed yet, but any ideas on what might be eating away in there? I don't know if different bugs have their own signature looks or not. Thanks.

I botled my 15 month old Oud Bruin and racked a little over 1 gallon onto 3-1/2 lbs raspberries. This pellicle showed up in about 4-5 days.

Check out this pellicle from a jug of hard cider. Naturally fermented. Started fermentation in November.

No clue about your bugs, but they're creating one beautiful landscape!

Here is a pale, low-gravity sour after 10 months fermenting in primary with ECY BugCounty. Started out at 1.029, intended as a kind of funky Berliner Weisse. I probably wouldn't try that again. Still, it will be interesting to see what flavor and aromas all those bugs can create in such a low-gravity beer.

I haven't tasted it in six months, but after four months it was subtly tart at 1.006. If the experience is still somewhat lacking after a year, I'll probably dry hop with some Citra and bottle to 4 volumes.

Shot of my Flanders Red this morning. It has not been souring that long, around 4 months at this point.

What is that black stuff in there??

 

[jhay_x7]

What is that black stuff in there??

Cat turds. Really brings out the viscosity and helps improves "hipster" rating of the beer since sour beers are sooooo last year



The black is just the reflection of the beer under the pellicle that you can see.

But seriously, cat turds.

 

[badlee]

Low fat cat turds?

Hmm I'm allergic to cats. Will I be allergic to cat turd beer??

Mmm... I'd love to make my own Flanders. Hope yours turns out great!

I want to chew this and blow bubblcles!

 

[MrOrange]

Same beer as before except the pellicle has changed quite a bit.

Various sours in different stages of fermentation

You can dedicate 4 carboys to sours? Impressive sir!
