Notes

4 lb guava, 4 lb passion, 1 oz orange zest

Alternative yeasts: WLP630, Wyeast - German Ale 1007, Safale K-97

  1. Mash for 60 minutes. pH should be 4.0 to 4.5 when completed. Add lactic acid as necessary but no more than 5mL in a 5 gallon batch (1 mL of 88% lactic acid per .1 shift in pH for 5 gallons of wort ).
  2. Drop mash to kettle, boil 15 minutes with chiller to sterilize.
  3. Put chiller in cooler, drop wort to cooler, chill to 115F, add lacto starter. Cover with lid and wrap with Saran wrap.
  4. In 36 to 72 hours when pH reaches 3.5, boil 30 minutes with hop additions.
  5. Chill and drop to primary at 70 F. Pitch yeast.
  6. Once fermentation is finished (4 to 7 days), add fruit.
  7. Finish fermentation for 7 to 10 days.

    Lacto starter:
    • 100g DME
    • 900mL water
    • 1g yeast nutrient
    • 1g CaCO3 (optional)
    • 50mL mature (>14 day) sauerkraut brine

      Make 1.040 wort. Cool to 100 F and add brine. Use airlock. Do not use stir plate for first 12 hours. Agitate every few hours. Keep between 70-100F (higher is better) for few days until top of starter begins to clear. Decant liquid to leave CaCO3 behind and pitch directly. Do not cold crash.
