Notes: STEP ONE - FERMENTATION PREP
1) Heat 4.5 gallons of water to almost boiling.
2) Add 96 ounces of lemon juice
3) Add 4 pounds of sugar
4) Bring to boil, boil for 3 minutes
5) Cool sugar solution to pitching temp
6) Add Yeast nutrient and Yeast energizer
STEP TWO - FERMENTATION
1) Pour solution into Primary
2) Pitch yeast according to package directions
NOTE - Lemon Juice is acidic and makes it difficult for yeast to get started. Give up to 72 hours to see action. Repitch if not goin. Not likely to produce Krausen, use airlock to check for activity.
3) Give it two to three weeks checking airlock every couple days for activity.
STEP THREE - STABILIZATION
1) Once fermentation is complete, add Meyerade to keg(s) leaving propper headspace.
2) Crush a couple of Potassium Metabosulfite tablets up and add to keg(s).
3) Close keg(s), purge headspace with CO2. Wait 24 hours.
4) After 24 hours, open keg(s) and add 2.5 tsp potassium sorbate
5) Waiting 48 hours post-potassium sorbate addition to ensure all yeast is killed.
STEP FOUR - BACK SWEETENING
1) Add 32 ounces of lemon juice to a pan and bring near boiling.
2) Add 2 pounds of sugar
3) Boil for 3 minutes
4) Cool mixture to handle
5) Add to keg
6) Clear headspace with CO2
7) Shake keg well to distribute sweetener
STEP FIVE - KEG & FORCE CARBONATE
1) Slowly carbonate to 10 to 12 psi
2) Chill keg
Enjoy! Best served cold! |

Notes: Mash and Sparge: Use a simple single infusion mash. The wheat malt will provide plenty of body even though this is a low-OG beer. If you are an extract brewer, you can make the calculations for the jump to light speed and skip ahead.
Boil the Wort: Boil for 15 minutes, but wait to add hops. Hops inhibit Lactobacillus, which we need for souring.
Lower the pH: It's a good idea to lower the wort pH to 4.5. The lower pH helps prevent other bacteria or wild yeast from ruining the batch. You can use lactic acid, phosphoric acid, or even acid malt. 10ml of Lactic acid will get you there. Since we are after a lactic profile, it makes sense.
Fermentation Stage One: Cool the wort and start fermentation with Lactobacillus only. Keep it warm, around 112-115°F (44-46°C). You could use an electric blanket or FermWrap heater to maintain the temperature. Using one of the many electric mash kettle options, you can program the unit to hold that temperature, depending on your model.
Monitor pH: Check the pH every 12 hours. When it reaches 3.6-3.8, it's ready for the next stage.
Boil Again and Hop: Boil the wort again, this time for 60, and add a small amount of hops. Boiling kills the Lactobacillus and stops further souring. 10 IBU’s is a good start. Since hops will no longer impact lactic acid formation, who am I to judge if you want a hoppy sour?
Fermentation Stage Two: Aerate the beer and add your conventional ale yeast. Let it ferment out, then bottle or keg as usual.
