For cherries - either 10lbs crushed sour, 7lbs regular, or 2lbs frozen.
After flameout, let cool to 170F then add cherries, transfer into carboy.

Add Pectic enzyme just before yeast.

Notes: Very dark and not too bitter, medium body, smooth mouth feel but has strong roast grain finish. I have been brewing this every year in July since 2009. This 15 gallon recipe will scale down to 5 easily. Usually fermented in two separate vessels, blended when completed and kegged. An alternate method I like is to split off 5 gallons when racking for secondary fermentation and rack onto 1 to 2oz of American Oak Chips. (Nice hint of the oak and I prefer to age this method two or three months)

Notes: Obtaining the enzyme extract:

after 30 min at 60 C pull and filter 500 ml of wort. Cool it (possibly in an ice bath) and put aside. Use that enzymatic active wort to wake up the yeast and then add it to the beer along with the yeast. It will continue the breakdown of dextrins during primary fermentation.

NOTE: Don't bottle condition this beer unless you you know if the breakdown of dextrins is complete.

Notes: Step by Step
One week before brew day, get a WLP007 yeast starter going. When starter activity slows, decant the spent wort and add fresh wort.On brew day, crush the grains and place in two steeping bags. Steep the bags at 155 °F (68 °C) in 16 quarts (15 L) of water for 20 minutes. Rinse the grains with 2 quarts (2 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) hot water. Add dried malt extract (DME) and table sugar. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the specified times. Chill the wort to 70 °F (21 °C) and add water to achieve 5 gallons (19 L) of wort. Aerate the wort and add WLP007 starter (decanting the spent wort first). When fermentation slows, take a gravity reading and add WLP099 starter (if needed) to achieve a final specific gravity of 1.035. Keg or bottle carbonate, aiming for a carbonation level of 2.0–2.2 volumes of CO2. Once carbonated, condition at cellar temperature for several months. Flavor should peak at about one year and remain there for at least another year.

Tips for Success:
Pitching plenty of healthy yeast is paramount for a high gravity brew. When in doubt, pitch more. Be patient with the fermentation and conditioning process. Beer doesn't have a schedule. For bottle carbonation, pitch fresh yeast at bottling time if the WLP099 wasn't needed during the brew day. Give the bottles adequate time to carbonate. This beer needs to age, anyway. You'll thank me later for saving it until its peak. If you would like, try aging this beer in a bourbon barrel. How long to barrel condition is a matter of individual taste. Our club likes a full bourbon flavor, so we age the beer for several months. We don't worry about temperature. The barrel's alive, and varying temperatures allow the wood to expand and contract, imparting those wonderful oak and bourbon flavors.

Notes: This is a scaled down version of a soured saison I brewed. The initial batch was 11 gallons brewed in 10/2013. It aged with dregs from Cantillon, Jolly Pumpkin and Orval until 04/2015 at which point I pulled a gallon and let it age on half a pound of elderberries. The Cantillon lambic-like character really came out after 60 days on fruit so I bottled it. This beer won bronze in the sour category of the MontreAler's Ale and Lager Throwdown (MALT) in Nov 2015.

Notes: Oxygenate-aerate well. Ferment at 68 F for 7 days the rack into secondary. Ferment until target gravity has been reached (ideally 1.015-1.016) and beer has cleared (3 weeks prox.)

Three days prior to bottling, add Gelatin, and cold crash in the fridge to clarify the beer (optional but works great).

Prime and bottle. Carbonate at 70 to 72 degrees for 2 to 3 weeks.
