I'm looking to do a small scale experiment with multiple souring agents. I have noticed that there are three or so different kinds of Brett, Lacto, mixes, and more and I want to see what each brings to the table. I can get 2 gallon plastic fermentors for nearly free. I plan to brew a 5 or 6 gallon batch and split it between 5 or 6 little fermentors each time. I will pitch a different strain to each fermentor and ferment as suggested. I plan to do this with every commercial souring agent. Should I just do a pale ale with aged hops? SMASH? Red? Brown? Other?
 
Straight up SMaSH with aged hops sounds awesome. Although, maybe a little wheat or oats for some extra stuff for the bugs to chew on would be cool. Sounds like an awesome experiment! Good luck!
