Notes

10/30/21-Used 2-year old Mandarina Bavaria, assumed 50% loss of bittering. Wort went straight on top of the existing cake and added the Belgian yeasts from Russian River, etc. Will see how this recipe goes, had to drop the CaraRye and lowered the Munich and Vienna by 1# in exchange for M.O. base malt. Mashed for fermentability as recommended by Michael Tonsmire when I had the chance to ask him. No mineral/acid additions to water.

10/23/21-Kegged the batch, some was added to the wheat wine for 2021 12BOC. I plan to make a new batch and just ferment it on top of the existing yeast cake.

12/27/19- Changed from Buckwheat to CaraRye and Hallertau to Mandarina Bavaria hops. I am going to double the IBU's in an effort to mellow some of the sour character. The oak will be added when everything goes into the primary. This is the new grain bill of the previous Flanders Red that I made. It will have the same yeast and same bugs.

Brewed on 6/23/19, I put 2 quarts of Muscat sour culture on the wort with the Belgian yeast. I added oak cubes soaked in red wine on 8/23/19 and kegged it on 11/25/19.

 My Sour Angels was really nice after about 5 1/2 months of age with this culture. That is a Berliner Weiss malt bill with Kolsch yeast and the Muscat culture.
