Pulled some samples of sours this morning.
From left to right:
Biere de garde/Cabernet hybrid. Age is 16 months. I was doubtful of this one at first, but it has really made a change for the better. I think this one will end up being great when all is said and done.
Kriek-ish beer. Age is 13 months. I think I'm about ready to throw this one on tap. It's just about there.
Brett Saison. Age is 9 months. This one will probably get another couple months. It's almost there. It's on the fruity tart end of the brett saison spectrum.
Brett Saison. Age is nearly 4 months. This one was an accidental brett saison. It has a lot of funk starting to come out. I'll let it ride for a good bit longer.
Table beer. This one is just a couple months old. I don't know what to think about this one. It's kind of plain. I was hoping for a little more complexity, but I don't see it getting there. Not bad, but just meh.

Nice. Brewing a Gose now and just put another TropicAle on tap for tasting before being poured at Brew at the Zoo.

Where do you, and you other brett/sour brewers age your beers?
I've got 1 more brew before I try to brew a brett saison, but i need somewhere to store it. My ferm freezer will always be in use for other beers at some point or another, so that is out. I have a spare room, but my wife and I's grandparents stay there every now and then. I do have a closet in there, but it shares a wall with the garage, so it is a bit warmer than the rest of the house. I'd say it's probably around 80 to 85 in that closet.
I could maybe let the fermenter of brett sit in our "computer nook" that houses no such computer. Temp there is house temps (70-72 when home, 75 when at work), unless we are going in and out of the garage, which would raise the temp there to probably about 5 degrees.

Nice! I never pull samples (just too lazy) and go off smell. That technique has worked so far but my sour Dark Mild could've probably been bottled about a month sooner. It is a tad on the sour side for me but others have really enjoyed it.
