Notes: A basic blonde sour testing out Philly Sour yeast and cleaning out some of my Hallertau Blanc.
The addition of strait sugar is to promot lactic acid formation from the Philly Sour yeast I am unsure what the actual ABV will turn out to be after that sugar is metabolized early. |

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! |

Notes: Mash: Dough in cold, infuse from 180° HLT to reach protein rest. After 10 min, stir and pull about 2 gals for decoction. Infuse from HLT to reach 149°. While main mash rests, heat decoction to 158°, hold until iodine negative, then boil gently. Add a portion back to main mash to reach dextrin rest, draw off some liquid from MLT drain to refill decoction volume to 2 gal. Reheat decoction to boil and hold until dextrin rest is complete. Add decoction to reach mashout. Any remaining decoction can be added during batch sparge.
Pitch yeast at 8c. Ferment at 10c until high krausen is reached, then increase 1c/day up to 15c. Hold until FG is reached. Add gelatin, crash at 0c until clear, transfer to keg and carbonate to 2.5 vols. |

Notes: SMaSH recipe.
First brew hit the numbers gravity numbers well - OG 1.051/FG 1.014
Amazing flavour (10 days after bottling) - lot of, controlled, grapefruit like citrus. Low key bitterness.
Almost like a cross between a quality Pilsner and a lighter IPA.
A while later and the aroma is full-on passionfruit but the flavour is, to me, just bizarre. It splits opinion - you either love it or hate it and unfortunately I fall in to the latter camp! |
