Cocked up yet again. I had 7lts in the boiler and added 21 lts taking the boiler to 28lts instead of the 26lts it should have been.
More wort = less gravity
Next time I shall follow the advice of BF! |

Oh yes.
Also I broke my pH meter so had to use pH test strips to get the pH down. Today I brought a sample of the wort into work to check the pH and it came out at 3.80!! Lets hope the US05 I pitched this morning can cope with acidic environment.
I was originally going to leave the lactics that I pitched to sour the wort first before adding the US05 but I am always reading and hearing that with any good sour beer you need a good healthy fermentation. We'll see. |

Well this is fermenting away nicely now, we shall just follow the original plan as per the Gantt chart and hopefully this 4th iteration will work! |

Well, I took a cheeky sample today and its tasting great. Theres real notes of the house culture in there which is great as it proves it doesn't take long for this mix to do its magic.....HOWEVER
There is no where near enough sourness in there for me. So enter 150g Maltodextrin which I boiled and added this afternoon, I shall taste this again before I dry hop it with the NS hops to see how much sourness I have gained. I am hoping this works, if it does then I have nailed a tried and tested method of souring POST fermentation which is great! |

Well the 200g of Maltodextrin doesn't appear to have done much, this now points towards not enough lactic acid bacteria present.
From now on, sours are done with a healthy pitch of L Brevis which I shall keep a culture of in the garage. |
