Sour base

[Tippecanoe]

M looking to make a base for a sour that I am going to sour using the dregs from a couple of bottles of supplication. Any suggestions on what I should brew? Not sure what I should use for abase yeast either.

2-row + wheat. 10 IBUs. Mash high. Any Belgian yeast.

Lambic is a mostly wheat beer.

Alternatively look up Flanders.

A 50/50 or 60/40 wheat/barley malt (either two row or pilsner is good) mix is a good starting point for sour beers. It's the make up of most lambic beers. If you wanted to make something darker (in a Flanders red or oud bruin style) then look at starting with 60-70% two row or pilsner with a 10% flaked corn or sugar addition and the rest a mix of caravienne and caramunich. Obviously you are not bound by the basics. Modify as desired.
