Well it didnt sit for 200 days. I let it sit for about 60 days and tasted it. Then I decided it was really good and ended up kegging it. I kegged cause I didnt have any bottles laying around and I am lazy. As for the beer it was really good, tons of cherry flavor and aroma with minimal sour/tartness from the Brett C.
