    I was wondering if anyone has used De Bom sour blend before. I really want to make a Flanders red or Sour Belgium blonde ale with apricots using this blend. However, I am worried that this blend lacks complexity. If this is the case I will prob use a different sour blend (and sit on it). Has anyone brewed with this blend before, if so let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    I know it is off topic, but I would really like to see someone (not me) do a split batch of wort, 10 gallons, both pitched with individual packets of this blend, one oxygenated for the "quick sour" and the other left to age as normal, compared in 6 months and 1 year to see not only what happens initially, but with age as well. It may very well make a decent, quick turn around sour, but leave the bottles in the cellar and they may turn into crap. Would be good to know.
