Ok lets get the cask sour project under way.

"Nigel-the-Recipe" will come up with a base recipe. This means we all brew a clean beer at home and only sour the cask!

So who's in:

1. Will_D: 22.5 L
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

I am presuming we are all generating 19 - 22 ish litres

Would it be as well to just call them all 20 ??

and if there is extra, then so be it ?

We need 10 to make the magic 200

Aim for much the same as last times. 20L min. Anything over can go towards top up.
What percentage would people be looking at? A nice sour can be as simple as a 4% beer. Should be a quick one to get ready. A week primary and a week in 2nd then into the cask.
Primary fermentation with anything like us-05 or notty then onto the bugs for an absolute min of 6 months. After that that's where the fun begins. Play around with fruits or whatever else catches your fancy.

I have a sour that is going since last July that so whenever we are good to go I can rack it off and we should have a super healthy bug farm.
