I think I have at least a pound so you're welcome to what you need.

I'm wanting to use a little bit in a Saison, but not so much as to make it a "sour" beer, but just enough to add a bit of tartness or "twang".  I'm thinking of adding about 4% acid malt, any other suggestions out there of a good starting place for a small amount or tartness in a Saison?

I've only used it once. In a white IPA with forbidden fruit yeast. @jamie_savoie has a lot of experience with belgians, he may be able to answer your questions regarding use and amount.

PM me to arrange picking it up.
