Brentwood old bruin

Flanders Brown Ale/Oud Bruin • Partial Mash • 5.0 gal

kappel

Nice Sour Cherry Beer. A bit too Phenolic, wish I had used a less phenolic yeast and/or controled the primary fermentation temp. (I let it go to 80 degrees F.(It works with some yeasts...but Wit yeast is phenolic in nature).
