(No. 12 in my series.) Kettle boil 7/28/16. 75-minute mash at 150 degrees. Batch sparged. 75-minute boil. OG was 1.055. On 8/3/16 I added Brett Lambicus. Transferred to a secondary on 8/30/16 (gravity was 1.006) and racked the beer onto a white oak spiral that has been pre-soaking in cab sauv wine plus 4 lbs of red tart cherries and 16 ounces of red tart cherry juice. Bottled 3/2/17. Tasted great, with a nice cherry overtone and a pleasant tartness. Bottled with 2/3 cup of priming sugar in almost 4 gallons (lost some beer to the cherries).

Seymour, this one is still aging. I'm in no hurry for it, and I want to give the Brett plenty of time to do its thing. I may taste it in another month or two, and depending on how it tastes, either bottle or let it age longer. Cheers!
