Hey all,
So for all of you Project X fans out there I am sorry to say that the X w/ Cascade is gone. Hope you got some while it lasted. Now to please the Sour Beer fans out there...
The Sour Brune has hit the taps! We did a sour Kettle with this batch, similar to pHunkin but using different bugs. With the pHunkin we used strictly Latco which gives you that great topical fruit aromatic with a big puckering sour. For the Brune we used a blend of Lacto, Pedio and Brett and let it sour the kettle for longer then normal... and I'm loving the results. The Tropical fruit of the lacto is still there, but there is other funky/earthy flavor and aromatics that the pHunkin didn't have.
This beer is worth a try!
Cheers,
Tyler

The BeerAdvocate website is set up to automatically set a beer as retired if it goes a certain period of time without a review. You've also got the name of the beer spelled wrong under the currently on tap to my left. Cheers
ReplyDeleteCan you explain the process of souring in the kettle? At what point do you add the bugs? Is it pre-boil to kill them before you rack to your fermenter?
ReplyDeleteEric,
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it. We let the bugs hang out in the wort in the kettle to get the sour/funky flaovrs then kill them in the boil.

Mind sharing how long the wort is allowed to sour in the kettle? Are we talking sour mash like times? or longer?
ReplyDeleteThis was the X-mas break sour kettle. So it sat for 5 days.
