Notes

This 20 gallons is being used to top off the 20 gallons I pulled from the original 60 gallon barrel for a solera-style refermentation in the barrel.

Yeast culture is a mix of bottle dregs and Bootleg Biology Sour Solera 2018 Spring Blend.

AGED HOPS!!!
The 3 hour boil hops were pellet hops aged for 10 years.

IF NOT USING AGED HOPS, use very low AA hops in the boil or 1 hour for an IBU around 10.

This beer is complex, funky & sour. The aged hope add an added later to the funk and complexity, but also adds time needed in the barrel to bring those qualities together. First pulls of this beer were absolutely delightful.
