WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

I created a culture of bugs from the dregs of bottles of Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca, Jolly Pumpkin La Roja, and Lindemans Framboise Lambic prior to racking by a solution of 2 cups water to one half cup DME. The scent was acidic with a small pellicle growing atop.

The day prior, I boiled peaches, then pureed them using my ninja blender. I then placed them in the refrigerator in sanitized jars.

Rack onto peaches and toasted french oak chips as you approach FG. Add your yeast culture. Swirl carboy contents and let sit for 6 months.

**UPDATE - 8/ 15 /15 Tasted Approximately 2 months after adding peaches. The peach flavor is null, however, the sour is present. Next time I will use apricot as I hear it is better used for that stone fruit flavor. At this point in time, the beer is very well balanced and tasty with mild sourness. I hope the sour will grow. Beer is a nice orangey / brown color.

11/23/15 - Bottled. FG of 1.004. Damn, this is amazing. I believe this beer is about 7%abv
