measured pre-boil gravity after 4 days of souring at 1.042 or 1.043. Sweet wort tastes a little sour, definitely lots of cooked corn aroma, which I hope will boil off. Boiled for 90 mins.
After 8 days of fermentation, refractometer read 6.8 brix, which puts this at about 1.006. After chilling, the sample was moderately sour but very clean, not having much saison character. Apricot puree added after 8 days of fermentation.
3/14: sampled, apricot added a nice background note. added 1 pound of frozen mangos. |

Notes: Brewed successfully on 03/19/16.
Efficiency was higher probably due to the pH.
OG 14.3 brix (1.0558-1.056*). I got about 6 full gallons - aimed for 71% efficiency (got 73% reflected on recipe).
Pitched yeast @66 degrees.
Mash at 154.4 & 154.4@ 30 mins.
I saw some bubbles @ about 2.5 hours after I pitch, it's fermenting but no signs of active fermentation otherwise.
03/23/16: Gravity measured @ 7.1 brix (1.0126). Seems like this particular yeast strain likes to attenuate much higher than expected (5-7 points under this calculator [usually 3 under])
03/29/16: Gravity 7.25 brix (1.013 @5.4% - 76% attenuation**)
04/04/16: kegged @7.1 brix (1.0126 at 5.5%).
05/02/16: Tapped the keg. Poured a still-cloudy pint. Flavor was actually very malty and reminescent of the brown ale almost, it did have a hint of hop aroma, and finishes with more hops. It feels pretty thick on the tongue, so either mashing lower or using a higher attenuating yeast will be more to my liking.
Also the water profile was set for amber-malty.
Alcohol wise it's much easier on the brain.
We'll see how it mellows out.
05/03/16: I tasted today with a clean palate and overall it's a very drinkable beer. There's caramel and sweetness up front that's followed by some hop in the after-taste. Does not taste like 35 IBUs, but it does have more hop aroma than the brown ale. I can see myself brewing this again but with more attenuative yeast, and dry water profile.
Visually it's cloudy (probably because of the hop oils), and I fined it today. Foam has a slight red-hue to it. Overall not bad.
05/07/16: Tried several pours and the gelatin is starting to make it sparkly very nicely. It's pretty malty and thick, with some caramel and dark fruits, but not much toffee or nuttiness like I expected. The hops come in at the end to keep the beer balanced- you can really taste how much the Fuller's yeast enhances the malt profile. |

Notes: Gold medal winner at NHC 2014 (see Zymurgy Sept/Oct 2014 page 70)
I entered the fermentables and then back-calculated the efficiency to match the reported OG. Doing this, I arrived at 65%
The fermentation schedule goes like this:
1. Primary fermentation with 1056 at 67F for 7 days
2. Transfer to secondary and pitch lambic blend, ferment either 90 days or 1 year (the recipe contradicts itself here) between 62-78F
3. Transfer to tertiary fermentor on top of eight 14.5oz cans of Oregon tart cherries. Age three months until clear (temperature not specified).
4. Pitch champagne yeast to bottle condition (gravity should be about 1.008 at this point) |
