Notes

My attempt at a smoothie ale/pastry sour. Thanks to Hops and Gnarly's youtube channel and Oakshire brewing's guide to help me with this recipe.

-Mash around 150-152F

-60 min boil. Add marshmallow fluff (aka the dextrose in the fermentables) at flameout. Motueka seem like it could add to the fruity flavor. I have seen people use Cascade for this recipe. Really only 1/2 or 1 oz is plenty but I got a good deal.

-Pitch Philly Sour first. After 2-3 days, add whatever California Ale yeast you got and let it chill for probably up to 14 days total.

-Cold crash and add to keg with the puree. remember, this will dilute the overall ABV by quite a bit. 11lbs of puree = 1.2 gallons of volume. If I start at 9.77% with 4ish gallons of beer, I end at about 7.5% after adding the puree.

-Consider adding 2-3 sliced vanilla beans at day 7ish of fermentation

Notes: consider any puree from Fierce Fruit. I wanted to try peach, but it was out of stock. I think banana, guava or berry could be interesting. Also, Oakshire uses a more complex grain bill, almost like a NEIPA bill including white wheat. May consider next time, but I wanted to keep it simple like Hops and Gnarly for my first go. He also used Imperial's Voss Kveik, but at 68F which is interesting.

After first brew: My efficiency was pretty low. I think you need the alcohol content to help with overall mixture of the puree and beer. Final beer ended at 5.7%. Secondly, 4.75 gal post boil was too much. I maybe only lost .2 gal trub in the bucket so I bottled about 5 x 16 oz of just the remaining sour beer.
