Thats awesome though. I would love to have a constant inventory of something like an imperial stout. Thats like 2021 goals though
Well, when i made my first sour, i waited to brew my 2nd batch until after i drank my first bottle. Then i realized, i'd have to wait another year before i could drink anymore of my sour brews, so after that, i tried to stagger my sour brew days for every 3 months, so i have a new beer to try every 3 months or so. It's worked pretty well, so far. I have 2 sours that are ready for bottling. 1 will get fruit, for sure, and i have to test teh other, but based on time in teh fermenter, it should be ready. Then i have my other ongoing sour batches going, and i have my Solera doing it's thing. I wanted to get a brett beer in bottles before i move out, but i don't think that will be possible, so it looks like that will be reserved for the first homebrew in the new house.

So not sure if anyone even noticed my last message on Saturday, but I just said screw it and let the starter run until I get back the next day. Pitched like 24 hrs after I finished brewing. Initially I was worried, but reading threads on homebrewtalk and r/Homebrewing have comforted me that it really didn't matter.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like an issue. I've often forgotten about my starter and made it on brew day to pitch a day later. As long as everything is sterile, you're good.

Overall I think I am getting better at this whole homebrewing stuff...
Sounds like it. Repetition breeds experience.

Of course now that I said that, I am sure this one will be infected.
It really is very hard to infect your beers. I brew both clean and sour brews (separate equipment) and have never had any sort of cross infection. But, i also clean and sanitize pretty thoroughly. The homebrew books drilled that into my head.

Trying one of these out tonight. I'm under a time crunch to get a beer out so I'm going liquid yeast + starter. I didn't have any DME, and I saw this at the store today and figured what the hell. More expensive than DME, but then I don't have to deal with sticky DME that eventually turns rock solid in my cabinet. Smells like wort. Tastes like wort. Must be wort. I'll report back.
