Just to remind everyone - there is a cask of sour in ColMacs garage. Renier has offered to bring a sample to the next meeting (week tomorrow - the 10th) at the Boro.
Assuming its ready we need to empty it and also decide what to do with the cask?
A couple of options are available:
1. Do another sour in it
2. Offer it to ColMac for whatever use he can think of.
3. Turn it into a couple of planters for anyone who wants one!
Flanders red or oud bruin!

4. Cut it( or a portion of it) into chunks for oaking / innoculating in carboys. I'd love a couple of chunks to throw into my sours
If the Sour is good I'd hope we fill it again. I second the oud bruin/ flanders red
If Col is still happy for it to live in his shed I'd be happy to fill it again.
Straight lambic or Flanders would be class.
Well Will the Welsh Auld Archiolo-gitt dug up this thread:

So how did it taste?
Whats the state of affairs with this now?
Procrastinating is the best way to put it. It's on the agenda for the next meet, as a plan has to be made for emptying and a decision on if we're filling again
Renier would it be possible for you to get a sample for the next meeting in swords.

Will try my best :-\
Don't forget next meet in OB is on the 13th NOT tomorrow!!
Right I reckon it's time we make a decision on this. It has been doing its thing for long enough and even if we are not 100% happy with the result it wont fix its self by ignoring it.
The barrel arrears to be brett prominent rather than sour. Could be fixed by a healthy dose of bugs but I think we should call time on this one and give ColMacs backhis garage.
Fixes could be more sour bacteria and more aging, drink as is or a crap load of fruit. Last sample was vert tasty as a base brett beer but not much sour so loads of room to play around with.
What do people think?
Yup lets get it out and start making experiments for Christmas :) maybe do up a doodle for dates?
We're gonna need a pump!
Just resent query to th eItaliens re thier pumps!
Brett prominent sounds great

At the last meet we tried a sample and theres a nice sourness beginning to develop. It was decided to leave it in for 6 months and then we'll probably take it out.
Just resent the question to Polsinelli!
So, when are we taking this out of the cask? :)
Whats the current state of this?
No decision yet then?
We have to arrange a time that's good with the host. It's being worked out on the group what's app.
Still no update then? The beer is ready is it? Just host needs to find a time?
Welcome to North county barrels ;)
Can we pick the date on this and close off this barrel.
Renier can you contact col mac and find out when is good for him. This is really starting to drag out now. It's just a matter of emptying the keg. Shouldn't take more then an hour or so.

Ok we have a date!

If you can't make it, get a keg to one of the people going and we'll get that bad boy emptied. Also going to need the pump and tubing from Will so we're not there all day.
No problem with the pump!!
