Notes

All Zythos-hopped sour NEIPA Saison, co-pitched with Goodbelly shots (or other Lacto). If you don’t want to use saison, then use your favorite usual sacc strain for NEIPAs (London III, etc), or use WLP 644 sacc trois. 20 IBU may be too much for the lacto, but I’m only going for a mild tartness here, not enamel-melting. Lower pH of wort to 4.5 with Lactic acid prior to pitching, to help pre-sour and with foam retention.

First dry hop is added immediately after active fermentation starts (day 1-2) for biotransformation, then removed as krausen dies down (day 4-5). Add Brett strain(s) and let condition warm for a few months. Then second dry hop added before packaging, and removed 3-5 days later. Then rack into keg (add more keg dry hops if you feel it needs it), carbonate, and serve!
