Taste Notes
Oregon Spring Fling: 29
Scott picked up a lot of oxygen on it as well as stale malt flavors. Maltiness misses the mark. Seemed to think it was old despite being about as young as a flanders should be. Said it was tired and out of balance. Not much from the other judges. Both the others said it lacked complexity. Kathryn said it also felt thin.
Western Idaho Fair: 36
See the spider chart for most of the comments. Overall good but lacking complexity and body.
Homebrewtah: 30
See spider chart
Also noted lack of complexity and some mustiness. Much like the Oregon Spring fling also noted a lack of tannins suggesting more wood would help.
Notes
Boil oak cubes before using
Going by a lot of the recomendations found here:
https://www.sourbeerblog.com/designing-and-brewing-a-flanders-red-ale/
Going with a lighter boil intensity. Get it to temp and reduce to gentle boil. Stir mash 4 times.

For want of any instructions I kept the beer in primary and boiled oak cubes for 15 min
