Kentucky Common Revealed

I bottled the Kentucky Common on about March 15th, 2010.  The FG was 1.008 ~ 5.08% ABV

I think it tastes great, it is sour and crisp. A great summer brew.  It doesn't pack the lactic punch of a berliner weisee, but the sourness within provides that 'sumtin' that makes it quite enjoyable.  Here's to brewing an extirpated piece of America.

The recipe which I neglected to include before, see souring procedure here:
