Notes

This beer was naturally soured in a sour mash. I first took the mash through all of the listed mash temperature rests. I then let the mash naturally drop in temperature to about 100F and added 2 handfuls of unmilled Pilsner malt to the mash to use the natural lactobacillus on the husks of the malt to inoculate the mash,

Over the coarse of the next 48 hrs. I boosted the temperature to keep it between 85-100F and brought the pH down to 3.7.

I then took the mash up to 170*F where I sparged it to the boil kettle.

Believing I had over sparged the grain by about .5 gallon, I boiled the wort for 75 minutes, adding the hops with 30-minutes left in the boil.

I then chilled and transferred to the fermenter where I pitched a combination of Fermentis K-97 and Be-134 at about a 2:1 ratio.
