Notes

Brewed at the request of friends who loved my I Remember My First Check-in Untapped anniversary sour. Changing hops in this one, and adding salt for the "tears" aspect. This should be ready for election day partying, during which the tears will be of joy or sadness.

Target souring pH: ~3.3 +/- 0.1

Day 1: Mash, 10min boil, add 2 lactobacillus pills. Set souring to ~90°F, hold until target pH is reached (normally <24hrs).

Day 2: Full boil with hops and orange peel, pitch yeast and hold ~85°F.

Day 3/4: Add high krausen dry hop addition. Just dump them in, cold crashing will help drop them.

Day 5: Add lavender (taste to see if more orange peel is needed).

Day 7: Cold crash.

Day 8: Keg with mesh bag as filter. Wash yeast and store.
