So I brewed a sour brown ale sunday, sour mashed 1/4 of the base grain, and added it to the main mash before lautering/sparging, the funky part smelled sort of like sour milk and feet, hope this works out.
In any case, it was a 10g batch split between two carboys, I was thinking of racking 1/2 onto cherries and 1/2 onto raspberries, but these are mostly out of season here in Colorado....so, I am going to use Oregon preserves. How much of each fruit should I use? The cans come in a 3# size, and are not cheap ($12-20)...but I would like them to come out sort of like a fruited oud bruin or a kriek...so fruit character should definitely be there...maybe 2 cans per 5g, 3 cans? What say you?
