4/15/11: Transferred to a new carboy (gravity was 1.020) and added:
- 100 ml Pediococcus
- 2 oz. French Oak Cubes that were pre-soaked in red wine for 3 weeks
- 2 lb. cherry puree

9/30/11: Transferred to a new carboy and added dregs from a bottle of Russian River Consecration

11/30/12: Transferred to a new carboy and added:
- 1/2 lb. Belgian Dark Candi Sugar that was boiled for 15 minutes with a little wort from another beer
- pitched some Belgian Abbey II 1762 yeast from a starter -- roughly 1/4 of the 1-liter starter (I added the sugar and yeast in the hopes of drying it out a bit more and so that it would carbonate after bottling)

    Curious how this one turned out...

    Turned out pretty good, but it didn't have as much sourness as I was hoping, and the cherry flavors were a bit too subdued. If I had to do it again, I would have skipped the dark candi sugar (it made things too muddled and distracted from the delicate nuances of fruit, Brett, etc.). This was my first attempt at a sour ale, so I learned a lot. Unfortunately, the learning curve on sour ales is slow and gradual.
