My first attempt at a Flanders Red Sour Ale. I enjoy this style very much for its tart cherry-like flavors. Fermentation with Wyeast 3763 - Roesalare mixed culture blend. Cherry juice added at secondary. Secondary aged for 6 months and then transferred to a second use oak cherry brandy barrel. At bottling time I added 1 qt tart Montmorency cherry juice and 1.5 oz table sugar and bottle/cask conditioning yeast. Stirred this gently for a couple of minutes and let the mix sit for about 30 minutes before bottling. Bottled into 30 Belgian style bottles with corks and cages.
