I bought NB's Kinderweiss kit: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/kinderweisse-extract-kit.html
Along with the matching Wyeast Berliner Weiss yeast. I plan on brewing it as the directions indicate, and possibly adding a some acidulated malt to it. My question is, how long will this take until it's done fermenting/souring?
NB's site says 6 weeks. Some places I've read say "bottle it as soon as the fermentation is done" which should be short since it's a small beer. I've also read some places saying "let it age 6 months +".
I'm fine in any case. One of my kegs in my kegerator is just for sour beers and currently has a Lambic on tap. This keg is dedicated to sours, so I intend on adding the Berliner to it when it's done - I just wanted to know when to plan on brewing it since it might be a while before I kick the keg.
thanks in advance...
