ok seeing as it's cherry season I am thinking of making a Liefmans kriek sort of thing - a sour brown ale with sour cherries added (not a lambic - i'm still working through the great maggot disaster of 2004) (that's another story)
anyway! i know they grow morello and montmorency cherries in Young and Orange and Mornington Peninsula and parts of SA. apparently they will be ripening round mid-late december. has anybody ever seen them fresh anywhere in sydney? i really want to use fresh ones rather than jarred.
perhaps i will have to drive off to young for the day and pick some for myself. perhaps i could bring back 10 or 20 kg if other brewers here would be interested in using some
