Hi guys,
I've heard that one way to make a sour beer is to collect wild yeast by putting a jar of wort under a tree (still trying to figure out how to do this in Minnesota winter... indoor plants?). I'm curious if doing this will always result in a sour beer, or if sometimes you can collect yeast that leads to a non-sour beer. I've read that sometimes it can end up fruity? Do you guys have experiences collecting wild yeast, and how did it turn out?
Thanks,
DG
