Notes
  • We want to mash at a higher temperature to provide complex sugars for the Brett to eat later in fermentation/aging.

    Traditional Lambic mash schedule:
    http://sourbeerblog.com/the-sour-beer-brewday/

    Fermentation schedule:
  • After boil, chill to 90F and transfer to primary vessel.
  • Add Lactic Acid 88% blend to reach PH of 4.5
  • Add Goodbelly or lactic acid. Do not aerate.
  • Let ferment overnight (12 hours or so) then measure pH.
  • Continue to measure pH until it reaches 3.3-3.4.
  • Oxygenate the wort and add sacc yeast.
  • Allow beer to ferment normally.
  • After fermentation subsides, taste it. If no off-flavors (rotten, cheese, vomit) proceed.
  • Rack to glass secondary vessel.
  • Add Brett blend.
  • Sample after 4 months; then taste monthly.
  • Take a gravity reading a month after it tastes good, and if the gravity is the same, time to bottle.
