Notes
  • Malt was soured 36 hours at a temperature of 36 Celsius. Lactobacillus 2.0 was used (https://escarpmentlabs.com/products/lactobacillus-blend-2).

  • The 2 pounds of Key limes were zested and juiced. The Juice was boiled for 15 min with 1 cup of water.

  • The Vanilla bean was added to 2 cups of table sugar and two cups of water, boiled, to create a vanilla Simple Syrup.
