The Sour Cask

[Will_D]

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.

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

[nigel_c]

Renier would it be possible for you to get a sample for the next meeting in swords.

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?
