Method:

All Grain

90 min boil

Ferment at 65 to 70 until main fermentation slows. Rack to secondary with oak cubes and age for 1 year.

08/16/13 - Sampled at the 6 month mark. Tartness is already better than 2012 batch was but not where I would like it to be.

Body is thin on both batches. I'm not sure if this will sour more or not.

I blended in 1/3 of the 2012 batch and 1/3 of the Cherry Oud Bruin and liked the results.
