Starting to drink this now. It's better than my first attempt, with a more pronounced and cleaner sour flavor. I like it. The thing I need to really work on is head generation/retention. This time it's slightly better than the first try, which had none. So, I might add a dash of cara malts and swap some malted wheat for flaked. Another change I might like to make is actually putting the bacteria in the fermenter. So far I've soured for a day then boiled to kill everything. Maybe I'll get a separate "sour beer" fermenter since I'm worried that I'll never truly clean the bugs out.
