Good luck with your process. I am fascinated by all the different souring mechanisms.

This batch is going into long term storage so I won't even be able to report back on this batch for another year.

This weekend I am starting the Flanders Red, wearing my Flanders Shirt... And thanks for ignoring the Flanders Shirt. You guys really hurt my feelings.....

I have two more packages of Roeselare and those will be used for the two stage fermentation of the same two flanders styles. Short fermentation with maybe wlp008 or wlp001. I just happen to really like the wlp008.

Then I just let them ride.... Each year I am going to put down four or five new batches. I already have two down for this year and the third this weekend.

Second batch with the Roeselare Blend is in the tank! Brewed a Flanders Red right out of BCS. Went with straight Roeselare again. O2 but no starter. OG = 1.055
And I was wearing the Flanders shirt and my :nutters:

I even managed to assemble a long term storage area in the basement. I have room for four 5G carboys and I can expand it to 8... :asshat:

I've been wanting to brew up a Flanders Red for a while. The thing that is stopping me is equipment. Should I buy specific fermenters just for use with sour beers? tubing? anything else? Are these things going tbe able to be sanitized enough to go back into regular beer production?
Also, I still bottle right now. Do you prime and condition sour beers the same as any other brew? I ask this question mainly for anyone else who is in my current situation, as I will have my kegarator by the time a Flanders is ready.

Well it depends I say anything that is pourous that contacts sour bug is for that only. And I would say yes you bottle and condition just like any other beer.
