Notes

This is a great example of a soured Belgian Quad. Using the omega yeast (OLY212) strain will produce a lot of great flavor and aroma components however, allowing the beer to oxidize in a 20 L wooden barrel for several months will allow more subtle and complex flavors to arise.

A 90 minute mash and a 90 minute boil is a must for this beer to get all the components out of the simple grain bill.
