    Hey, why not! He can give me feedback on my sours that are bottled (including the BOS), taste from my 3 carboys, and take a pull from my barrel that will get filled in the next month or so.

    I didnt know it was possible not to know about it. It seems almost universal at this point. Kudos OldSock on all that you give to the homebrew community.

    Eagerly waiting upon the delivery of my copy. Might not be able to read it for a while though, as I just began my American Brewers Guild certification program and have 5 texts, 5 books of lecture notes, and 150 hours of DVD material to consume over the next 5 months :slight_smile:

    Literally started the blog because I got tired of retyping recipes when people requested them on this forum (plus Northern Brewer's forum and BrewBoard)!

    See, people, if you harass someone long enough, great things can happen. If we want a sequel, we know what we have to do . . .

    Finally got my book in the mail! Congrats @OldSock on the book, you're blog is pretty much how I got into sours and wild ales and have never looked back.

    For anyone who has missed them, here are the sections/chapters trimmed from the book that have found their way to the blog. Some of them will continue to be updated, others were a snapshot of where they were when the ax fell.

    American Saison - Reimagining Farmhouse Brewing
    Kvass - Liquid Sourdough Beer
    Adding Spices and Herbs to Sour Beers
    Gruits and Other Hopless Beers
    Pairing and Cooking with Sour Beer
    Commercial Microbe Descriptions
    Bottle Dregs to Harvest

    If you want to stay in the loop on "book tour" stuff, follow me via something (Twitter, Facebook, RSS, whatever).

    Just finished the book and it was awesome, and eye opening! Great info and resource for sure. The chapter on Commercial Methods of Souring was such a great read and the first chapter that I will browse through again. But the chapter on Packaging is an invaluable tool and really made me feel confident about bottling some of my brett beers. Something that I had a ton of questions about.
