Notes: This is a quick kettle sour. It's ideal for anyone who doesn't want to risk "contaminating" their brewing equipment with bacteria.

Make up a lacto starter (*); I use Water Kiefer as the source.
Mash as normal and bring to the boil, then flameout immediately and allow to cool down 38 C. Pitch lacto starter and purge kettle headspace with CO2. Maintain temp. Sample every 12 hrs or so to monitor lacto progress. Once it's sour enough, bring the kettle back up to the boil and continue your brewing process as normal.

* Lactobacillus Starter Method
Combine the following ingredients to a liter of filtered water and boil for 15 minutes:
90 grams Dry Malt Extract
20 grams Dextrose (Glucose)
10 grams Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3 / chalk)
1 gram Yeast Nutrient or DAP (diammonium phosphate)

- Cool this starter solution down to around 38 C and add 100 ml of filtered water kefir.
- Seal the flask with a rubber stopper and airlock to prevent additional oxygen from entering the starter solution.
- Let it stand (covered) until pH reaches about 3.4 (5 days in my case), it will vary a lot depending on room temp.
- If you have a means of providing a temperature controlled environment, optimal growth is typically between 30 and 40 C.

Notes: We recommend a method similar to a Narziss fermentation, where the first two thirds of the fermentation is done cold and the final third is done warmer. This differs from the most commonly recommended procedure for lagers, where the yeast is pitched to a relatively warm wort (60 to 68°F, 15 to 20°C), cooled over the first two days of fermentation to the primary fermentation temperature, and then warmed back up to the initial temperature for a diacetyl rest before lagering. The idea behind the Narziss fermentation is to reduce the production of esters and other less desirable compounds during the most active phases of fermentation, and to increase the yeast activity near the end of fermentation, converting most of the undesirable compounds into less offensive substances. For example, diacetyl is a buttery tasting compound that is a common flaw in warm fermented lagers. The diacetyl precursor alpha acetolactate is excreted by the yeast during the early phase of fermentation. Keeping the temperature low during that time keeps the amount of alpha-acetolactate low. Yeast will reduce diacetyl at the end of fermentation, when they are working on building their energy stores. Warming the yeast near the end of fermentation makes them more active and improves the reduction of diacetyl. The overall effect is a cleaner beer.

Assuming you have clean, healthy yeast, controlling the temperature of fermentation is the most important step. The preferred procedure for these recipes is a little different, in that we recommend chilling the wort down to 44° F (7° C) and racking the beer away from the bulk of the cold break material before oxygenating and pitching the yeast. The fermentation chamber should be set up to warm slowly over the first 36 to 48 hours to 50° F (10° C) and held at that temperature for the rest of fermentation. This results in a clean lager, with very little diacetyl. If your wort was warmer during the initial yeast growth, or your fermentation was warmer, you’ll need to do a diacetyl rest during the last couple of days of fermentation, when the airlock activity noticeably slows. Generally this will be about the fifth or sixth day after pitching. To perform a diacetyl rest, warm your beer up about 10° F (6° C) above the fermentation temperature and hold it there until fermentation is complete. This keeps the yeast active and gives them a chance to eliminate the diacetyl. Then rack the beer to a 5 gallon carboy or Cornelius keg for lagering.

In any case, don’t rush things. Good lagers take time, and they ferment more slowly than ales, especially when fermented cold. Once the beer has finished fermenting, a period of lagering for a month or more at near freezing temperatures can improve the beer. Generally, the higher the alcohol content of the beer, the longer the lagering period should be. A 5 percent alcohol by volume Munich helles might be best after 4 to 6 weeks. An 8 percent doppelbock may need 6 months or more for some of the harsher aspects of the beer to mellow and for the melding of complex flavors to occur.

Notes: No decoction; we will mash off the kettle at 155 deg F (to achieve approx. 150 in the mash tun) for 75 minutes, stirring only; will lauter and boil 75 minutes.

Cool the wort to 5-8 C and pitch the yeast after oxygenating the wort. You may give the beer another shot of oxygen after 10 - 12hrs if no activity is visible yet. Ferment at 8-9 C (46 - 48F ) for 4 weeks or until the attenuation is within 6-8% of the limit of attenuation (Fast Ferment Test). A fermentation below 10 C (50 F) is important to curb the production of fusel alcohols. Yeasts are more prone to the development of higher alcohols in high gravity wort environments. A warm diacetyl rest should not be necessary, but if the yeast shows very slow fermentation performance, raising the beer temperature after 60% attenuation can speed it up.

Notes: Note the malt is NZ Gladfield Lager malt, not UK.

Actual OG: 1045; final 1008 and primed with 5g maltodextrin/500ml bottle so actual ABV close to 5%. Fermentation lasted 4 days. Went over 17C a bit but no more than 20C.

Result: Not bad. A bit unbalanced (too hoppy) for such a light body but the flavour of the (superb local) malt still manages to come through. Did bottle 2 x 500ml before the dry hop and thought it tasted better than the main batch.
