Notes

Pulled form Michael Tonsmeire's book "American Sour Beers". Excellent book, must buy.

Book instructs to ferment on yeast slurry from a flemish red. I will be adding this wort to a yeast cake of Roselare 3763 from a Flanders brown that just finished primary.

Variation - Add medium toasted american oak soaked in red wine after primary. Add more oak as needed @ 6 months. Boil oak for 10 min to reduce tannins. I subbed Chinook for Galena since it is a 90 min addition. Still hit 28 ibu.
