Yeah... decisions decisions... I didn't check mine this morning to see how it was going. I didn't make a starter though... haven't gotten into that level yet.

Tough call. That's be cool to taste the sour and non-sour side by side, but a supply of your own after an event would be mighty nice as well. I'm greedy, so I'd probably sour the whole thing and keep half for me.

UPDATE

Tasted my Rye IPA for the first time yesterday. It is, by far, the best homebrew i've ever done. I let my buddy try some with out telling him. His reaction was, "damn, that's good. It's really hoppy. What is this a stone?"

I am pumped, and can't wait to drink another tonight.

Now I have to make a decision about whether to sour the entire batch or just sour half of it. I have a 2L starter of brettanomyces ready to go. Thoughts?



So after you pitch the brett, how long do you let it ferment/ age?

I'm only shooting for a month. The event this beer will be poured at is on Nov 1. So I guess a little more than a month but not much.

We ended up brewing our beers for this contest on the same day.

What does that mean? Absolutely nothing, but I just thought I'd point it out.

I'll probably transfer to the bourbon barrel in two weeks, then keg a week after that.

So will it be more of a subtle sour like an Orval?
