Hall of Floaters in the Sky

Heat 3 gallons of water to 166 F. Mash-in grain, mash for 60 minutes at 154 F. Sparge with 3.5 gallons for pre-boil volume.

Collect wort and boil for 15 minutes. Chill to 95 F, purge kettle headspace with C02 and pitch the lactobacillus. Wrap the kettle in blanket and let the temp drop on its own. Sour until the pH drops to 3.3-3.7. After the desired pH is reached, bring the wort to a boil, add hops and boils for 15 mins.

Add hops for 15 mins

Chill wort to 75-90 F, pour into fermenter and pitch the yeast

My Sour Mashing variant:
