Got a text about @jcparsons3 cooking up a batch today. The rain was starting to move in so I took off to sit in during his brew.
He was originally going to help another guy brew a Scottish 60, but the guy couldnt make it, so he decided he had enough stuff to make an ESB.

Another one of the Rackers Tim was there with some Some Lagunitas beers to sample. Gotta admit, for a over the top hop beer, they were good. They were the Hop Stoopid, and WTF. Not so sure I would buy the Hop Stoopid, but the WTF was something I could buy again.

Well anyway, we were talking about sour beer. I I have been thinking of trying a slightly soured stout for a while. From the sounds of it, it seems to be pretty damn easy. And something that I may try to pull off sometime fairly soon.
I’m not looking for a pucker up sour kinda thing (but I’d be ok with that if I did) but something like the newest version of Guinness draught in the bottle. Not sure how it is when its in the can yet, but in the bottles its totally different lately. Got a bit more tang to it.
Thats all i want. Just a hint of sour. But I gotta admit that from everything I have read so far on souring, the general feel that i get is that it sounds easy,, but is hard to gauge the level of sour power. But I still wanna give it a shot.

Lastly, My latest version of Crop Circles (found in the 2011 recipes section) is now the final version. As I believe it is now what I was looking for. I made this beer for my brother in law who only drinks Bud, and he has requested more, so if he thinks its good, then its finalized.
