Just interested. My sour has been souring in secondary for about a month and a half now, and since I'm pretty sure it won't be ready to bottle until after about 6 months or more of souring, I haven't sampled it yet. Also, partially because I don't want to expose oxygen to it. I guess that wouldn't be problem if you were aging something in a vessel with a spigot (which I am not), though.
I imagine this is different for each and every one of you guys, especially since I've heard that some sours start exhibiting sour characteristics immediately while others take several months before they even start tasting sour?
So, how long you usually wait before first sampling your sour? And why?
