sour

Long time lurker, first time poster. As the title suggests, I pitched my yeast into wort that was colder than recommended(68F instead of 80-85). I am using White labs belgian sour mix I which is supposed to be pitched at 80-85F. I am also concerned that I left too much room for o2. The problem...

Long time reader, first time writer. Giving it a crack at the whole sour "IPA." First time trying to sour. After reading a bunch of the posts on Omega OYL-605, I did the following: - 1L starter 30 hours prior to pitching, kept around 72. - Normal brew day, boiled for 10min to kill off...

I made a post in the beginner's forum, but I'm having some issues getting an AG batch to go right. I would love if a member could come and help me by either going through a brew day with me to point out any mistakes that I'm making, but most importantly I would love if someone could come and...

Hey Guys, I'm a new brewer, I got an extract kit for Christmas and started with that, which turned out pretty good. I've since started trying to do all grain 5 gallon batches and have not had any success. I would really appreciate it if you guys could follow the process that I've been through...

I have a recipe for a sour that I want to brew, but it says it needs to ferment for 5 days at over 100 degrees, before letting it cool to room temperature. I have a heating element in my fermentation chamber (chest freezer w/temp control) but I'm worried about trying to keep it that hot...

Hi, I want to do my first kettle sour and get the basics cooling and adding Lactobacillus to sour the beer for 24 to 48 hours. The recipe I am using calls for the addition of Brettanomyces to, this recipe is for non kettle souring so i am trying to adapt it. The Lactobacillus that I am buying...

Hey y'all. This isn't exactly a clone, since I haven't had the beer in question. If you're unfamiliar, here are some examples of what it looks like: https://www.instagram.com/p/BfOzQeBFniB/?taken-by=brueryterreux https://www.instagram.com/p/BetT0GUFycW/?hl=en&taken-by=brueryterreux...

I'm early in the process of planning a lambic-style-ish brew, just had some questions. Planning a 5-gallon brew. I've been finding plenty of yeasts, bacteria, and blends to use. I've seen a some recipes where Wyeast 3278 is pitched by itself right after cooling, and some where it is pitched a...

Hi Guys, So I've brewed 3 batches so far, one Brooklyn Brewshop kit, one Mr. Beer kit and my most recent, Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, which is the batch in question. Keep in mind I bottled the kit batches and decided to keg this Centennial Blonde. The first two batches went good and taste...

Humm... this is embarrassing. I brewed 3 batches this summer and then week after week ... I suddenly realised that they have been sitting there for 6 months now untouched after finishing fermentation. No signs of nasty infection even though there quite few black stuff on the surface. My...

Hello. This is a repost of my first ever thread #8184095 The project: I'm going to try and brew the highest ABV sour I possibly can. The goal is a final yield of 20% ABV fruited sour beer, or at least as high ABV I can achieve. I've put a good bit of thought into the recipe and the process...

Hey guys! I’m planning in making a sour beer tomorrow based on Four Winds Nectarous. I have two things I’m concerned about and I wouldn’t mind some feedback on the recipe! 1. I know Four Winds uses Citra & Galaxy at flameout but how many g/l do you think is safe not to reach a too high IBU for...
