Sour Series - 004

The fourth beer in the sour series. A friend had given me a bunch of kegs, some of which had a bit of beer left in them. One keg was labeled "kreik" and the other "framboise". These sour beers must have been brewed about 8 years ago. After opening the kegs to clean them and taking a big whiff of what was inside, I decided I needed to grow a culture from the dregs and make a sour beer out of them.

The first beer in the sour series. After reading the book American Sour Beers by Michael Tonsmeire, it is hard to refrain from experimenting with sour beers. The last beer that was brewed was a french saison, using Wyeast 3711, brewed with hibiscus. It seemed like a good place to start; 1 gallon of the fermented saison was racked onto mixed berries and dregs from multiple bottles were added.
