Notes

Souring will be done through a kettle sour method for faster production. Collect wort and sour with OYL-605 Lactobacillus blend for 48 hrs then proceed with normal boil and fermentation.

For a substitute of traditional syrups add 1/2 lb orange zest, 1/2 Gallon Pineapple juice, 1 pint grenadine, 8 oz lime zest after primary fermentation subsides, day 4-5, ferment to terminal gravity.

This starts out as a simple, traditional berlinerweisse and then it takes a hard right turn at the end. Sounds delicious and really expensive! The base beer looks great -- malt, water, salt additions, and hops are all in order.

Some questions that need to be answered: Which kettle sour method are you using? Describe it. If you are souring in a separate vessel (not the kettle), then the volumes are off as they do not account for loss.

How much added ABV do you expect from the additions? Is grenadine fermentable (I'm asking -- I have no idea). I do know a thing or two about using zest, and a pound of zest in ~6 gallons is heavy-handed. That should be backed down to about 2oz each.

Great choice on lactobacillus culture. Let's hope Omega survives this thing.
