Notes: What is a loquat? (https://www.splendidtable.org/story/david-karp-loquats)
Recommended to bring mash pH down to 4.0-4.3 (https://beerandbrewing.com/become-a-kettle-sour-expert/).
Steep grains for 20 minutes at 155. Bring temp to 170 and add in all of the DME. Heat for 15 minutes and then cool down to 120. Add 3 oz. of Omega OYL-605 Lactobacillus. I kept the last 1 oz in the fridge in case I needed it later. Maintain a temperature of 92 (+/- 2 degrees) (http://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Lactobacillus). Using a FermWrap FE650 for heating and an InkBird ITC-308 for controlling the temp.
After 72 hours, start the 30-min boil.
At day 3 of fermentation, I sanitized and cut up 6 lbs. of Loquat fruit. Discarded the pits. I put the fruit in 2 grain bags. I didn't use grain bags with my last sour and the amount of sediment was an issue on bottling day. I made sure to give the fermenter a little shake each day so that air wasn't trapped amongst the fruit. I've read that not doing so can cause some mold to start to grow.
2 days before kegging, I took out the fruit and squeezed as much liquid from them as I could. Kegged on day 30.
I'm happy with how this came out. I may have preferred closer to 8 - 10 lbs. of fruit, but loquats are a pain to de-seed. Tasted like a good sour with some fruit. Not like the new, over-juiced beers that are coming out. |

Notes: Process:
Start the “ginger bug”: Add 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) grated ginger (skin and all) and 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) sugar to 1 cup (250 milliliters) of water. Stir well and leave in a warm spot, covered with cheesecloth to allow free circulation of air while keeping flies out. Add this amount of ginger and sugar every day or two and stir, until the bug starts bubbling, in 2 days to about a week.
Make the ginger beer any time after the bug becomes active. (If you wait more than a couple of days, keep feeding the bug fresh ginger and sugar every 2 days.) Boil 2 quarts (2 liters) of water. Add about 2 inches (5 centimeters) of gingerroot, grated, for a mild ginger flavor (up to 6 inches/15 centimeters for an intense ginger flavor) and 11/2 cups (375 milliliters) sugar. Boil this mixture for about 15 minutes. Cool.
Once the ginger-sugar-water mixture has cooled, strain the ginger out and add the juice of the lemons (or limes) and the strained ginger bug. (If you intend to make this process an ongoing rhythm, reserve a few tablespoons of the active bug as a starter and replenish it with additional water, grated ginger, and sugar.) Add enough water to make 1 gallon (4 liters).
Bottle in sealable bottles: Recycle plastic soda bottles with screw tops; rubber gasket “bail-top” bottles that Grolsch and some other premium beers use; sealable juice jugs; or capped beer bottles, as described in chapter 11. Leave bottles to ferment in a warm spot for about 2 weeks.
Cool before opening. When you open ginger beer, be prepared with a glass, since carbonation can be strong and force liquid rushing out of the bottle. |
