Notes: - Based off of this recipe: https://mrsmallbatchbrewer.com/berliner-weisse-kettle-sour-recipe/
- Hops are the biggest deviation, using the Sorachi Ace we had on hand. They're substantially higher in alpha acids, so used a lesser amount, and later.
- For the lacto, I ordered this: https://smile.amazon.com/Vitamatic-Lactobacillus-Plantarum-Digestive-Prebiotic/dp/B0CJQLC9P5/
- L. plantarum seems a popular, fast-souring variety of lactobacillus.
- Pitch rate from here:
https://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Lactobacillus#Starters_and_Pitching_Rate
- Species comparison here (though it lacked l. acidophilus, a seemingly popular probiotic varierty we could get even cheaper):
https://byo.com/article/brewing-with-lactobacillus/
- Those caps have a second ingredient, "Inulin", but it's just a prebiotic starch, to promote bacterial growth, something that's present in wheat anyways, so it won't hurt or help our use case:
https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1048/inulin
- We used the 15 gal. sparge kettle for this batch, not the 20 gal. one, to limit the area we needed to insulate.
- We cooled the wort, after the first boil, down to ~97 F. and set the heatstick+inkbird combo to 95 F. Lots of stirring was required to keep the whole thing at an even-ish temperature as we cooled it.
- We did turn out to have some 88% lactic acid from one batch of 2nd-hand brew supplies, so we decided to attempt to adjust the PH down to 4.5 before pitching the lacto as the copied recipe recommended.
- To calculate that, we used the "Kettle pH" tab of this helpful spreadsheet: https://mashmadeeasy.yolasite.com/
- It's not _perfect_ for our purpose, so, when it told us to add ~23 ml., we started with 15 ml., which took us from a measured PH of 5.69 to 4.9, which we called good enough.
- We then Starsan'ed the lid (which was _way_ too much in the way during boiling, cooling, etc.) and rested it as best we could covering the kettle, sealing the gaps left because of various cords with foil.
- With it mostly sealed, we then applied some CO2, to hopefully blanket the wort and keep aerobic species out. Not sure how much that did, though, given the limited headspace between wort and the top of this kettle.
- That was then followed with wrapping the kettle, still on the stove, with a new, clean moving blanket.
- We wrapped that up around 9:45 PM. |

Notes: Hit OG of 1007; FG was 1002. Colour was very dark (perhaps too dark).
Left it in the fermenter for a week - was somewhat worried I might get an infection given the ABV is so low, but doesn't seem to have happened.
If you re-brew, I recommend reducing the IBU. It is too bitter for the low ABV. |

Notes: 4 packs Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale liquid yeast (or an appropriate starter*)
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=51, Mg=10, Na=16, Cl=71, S04=71
(Keeping the Cl:S04 ratio even for a balance between malt and bitterness, hitting the minimums on Ca and Mg).
Grind the roasted barley fine (I use a setting of 10) and add it after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over, stop the mash pump, add the roasted barley, and give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain bed. You need to stir well as otherwise the fine layer of powdery roasted barley on top may stop the flow. Start the mash pump again and continue with your mashout. The wort will be cloudy again but it will clear as the grain bed rises to mashout temperature over 20-30 minutes.
Try and use the recommended White Labs WLP-004 or Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeasts. While something like Fermentis Safale US-05 (American Ale / Chico) yeast can be substituted and works well, it's just not the same as it's a bit too clean fermenting and lacks some of the complexity.
Serve this beer with fairly low carbonation (the lower the better in my humble opinion, or even better, as a cask ale). If you have the means to serve it through a beer engine with no extra carbonation at all other than residuals left over from fermentation, do it! I think you'll really enjoy the difference. I serve mine on a stout faucet pushed by 30/70 C02/Nitrogen blend to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer, exactly how Guinness is served on tap. One cheap and inexpensive way to (sort of) mimic this is to use a syringe. Pour the beer as you would normally and then suck up a syringe full and force it back into the beer, hard. Repeat 2-3 times and you'll knock most of the C02 out of solution leaving a nearly flat beer with a creamy head. Over carbonation destroys a lot of the subtleties of this beer. Don't over carbonate!
add 88% lactic acid to the beer after fermentation is done, before kegging. This is said to be what Guinness does today because it's cheaper, easier, and more efficient than relying on bacteria. All is takes is around 3-4 ml per 5 gallon keg. Go sparingly adding 0.5 ml at a time until the taste is to your liking. You can also use this method to do a trial run to see if you like the results: Once the beer is kegged and on tap, add 1-2 drops with an eye dropper to a 16 oz glass of beer and see what you think. 1 drop per 16 oz is equivalent to 2 ml in 5 gallons. Careful not to overdo it! |
