Notes

Kettle sour wort 24 hrs looking for about 3.5 pH after which I'll do my boil. After two weeks fermentation I'll rack to a keg with the cherries to age I will not carbonate and will release pressure daily for at least two weeks or until fermentation is over. After that I will rack to bottling bucket and bottle and pitch more yeast for bottling.
Put the oz of oak in a week after the cherries and add the wine when kegging



Try
More cherries and 2 bottles Pinot noir
