not a big beer drinker myself, (and you'd never see me pouring out any JD), had a friend tell me this so I tried it with a 1/2 rack of cheep beer and a 5 gallon bucket, seemed to kick start the souring and brought them in a little faster to a cold stand,
any more its grape coolaid and corn and give them a week or so to find it
