Souring beers at bottling.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I think I will go with the 3 gallon carboy route with brett or lacto. And wait out the time. Seems like complexity is more important than just sourness. And hate to put good brewing into explosive bottle bombs.

Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to sour beers.

I have taken my dry stout and added a brett beer to the mix.

So, when bottling 5 gallons of Dry Stout, I would bottle 4 gallons of the Stout. With one gallon left of the stout, I would then pop open a 375ml sour brett beer (homebrewed) and add that to the rest of my bottling bucket. Gentle stir and then bottle the last gallon with the Brett beer. Give your beers about 6 months and they will turn out amazing. Depending on how well the brett beer is mixed in, each beer is shows it's flavors a little different.

I would then look to buy another bucket, hose, filler, etc. ...but then PBW and star san should work too.
