Notes



Dark Saison inspired by Michael T. beers.

Edit: The original recipe had around 24 ibu and minimal sourness. This recipe has been dialed down to 10 ibu and Andrew recommends adding dregs as well for complexity and added tartness.

Regarding the Cherry Funk Blend: Description: Blend of 3 Brett strains and Lactic Acid Bacteria Recommended Temperature Range: 68 F to 80 F Tasting Notes: Creates a tart beer with cherry esters and complex flavors. 14 days at 71 F in 1060 sweet wort, Ph 5.0 Apparent Attenuation–51% ABV– 4.1% Final Ph– 3.3 (50X acidification) 1.9% lactic acid W/V 14 days at 71 F in 1060 10 IBU wort, Ph 5.0 Apparent Attenuation–89% ABV– 7.1% Final Ph– 4 (10X acidification) 0.7% lactic acid W/V General Notes: This blend creates an amazing complex, sour beer with fruity cherry esters. Fermenting in the presence of 7-10 IBUs will cause the fermentation to complete much more quickly but will slow the souring — expect to wait 3-4 months for significant souring. Fermenting with zero or less than 5 IBUs will allow souring to happen much faster (within two weeks) but will cause the fermentation to take up to 4 weeks to complete.
