Here is the beer I brewed today. Inspired by Little Sal from Allagash. This will sit in primary for two weeks, then transferred to secondary with red wine soaked oak chips. Aged 12-18 months until it gets to desired sourness then half will be packaged, the other half will get transferred onto blueberries and age another 3 months.
