back in january, i made a sour using only extract and a touch of steeped crystal. i added some oats in a hop bag as the kettle was heating up and pulled them out after a few minutes of boiling, for starch. pitched a sacch (saison?), racked to secondary and added a bunch of dregs. primary went great, got a pellicle in secondary, and over the months the haze from the oats has cleared nicely. i'm due for a hydro test/sample.
this was my first "aged all-extract sour" - has anyone else done this? have you noticed any differences with all-grain? folks talk about "extract twang", has that come through for anyone?
i note that Oldsock is giving this a go:
please let us know how it turns out.

My first extract (rye LME and wheat DME) sour, steeping some dark grains (roasted barley and chocolate rye) and crystal malts (CaraMunich and Special B).
please let us know how it turns out.
