Notes

Second brewing of experimental usage of sour cherry concentrate. First was delicious but going for more. Hoping to achieve extra sweetness with addition of wheat, corn, and 2 hr boil. More complex sour flavors with Philly sour yeast. A couple week on toasted oak should add barrel aged taste.

*Cherry juice added in secondary. I included it with fermentable ingredients to calculate total gravity/ alcohol.
