Has anyone said "fu#k it" and made the switch to an entire sour operation? No separate gear to speak of and only fermenting sours?

Not me, and not likely in the near future. Just love clean ales and lagers too much

I don't make a huge effort to keep things separate. occasionally I get bit by it but not usually. I have thought about it.

If you like sours, why not? I lost my taste for them, as they are bad acid reflux triggers.

Yep.  Damn old age.

I need to start a sour program. My wife is into them and they are too expensive to buy on a regular basis. Luckily she likes wine more than beer.

+1  - some sours are great for a glass, to appreciate.  but I wouldn't want 10 gal of it.

Sounds like you've never had a Gose.

I bet he has. I like all kinds of sours, including gose, but I'm with Paul: I like them in smaller amounts and less often.

Another +1. I like and appreciate it in small quantities. Not sure if I'll keep tinkering with brewing them or just buy a good one or two occasionally. I agree with Jeff on the acid reflux thing - more than one or two doesn't agree with me.  Justin - if you're really committed to it, go for it. Different ballgame though.

I use to brew a ton of sour beers including lots of blending which turned out great. In the past 2 years I have slowly been fading away from brewing them as I just wasn't drinking them as often.  I am enjoying other beer styles more though. I usually have at least one sour going in the pipeline.  Right now I have a flanders red aging on merlot soaked oak cubes in secondary.  Haven't even had a sample of it since I racked it to the secondary last September.

I've had a handful of different ones.  I appreciate the craftsmanship and talent it takes to create a good one I just prefer other things. 

one thing I don't like, when judging, is the proliferation of really bad sour beers that are passed off as "its supposed to taste that way, you just don't know sour"

Yeah, I love that explanation. Acetic acid in your face!
