Notes

Our very first 100% Brett fermented ale. A modest funky wheat ale which will end up being dosed with lacto/pedio bacteria and aged on freshly-picked blackcurrants in an oak barrel until ready to package and drink.

4/7/18: Finally bottling these. They've been aging for approximately 8 months now. The batch was split into the base beer (approx. 3 gallons) and three smaller batches (1 gal. each), each aged on different fruits. One was aged on wild grapes/blackberries, one aged on blackcurrants and one on blueberries.

After tasting the pure batch of blueberry sour (which we previously racked off the fruit about four months), we came to the conclusion that it's undrinkably acidic. We blended that one 50/50 with the base beer.
