Why don't you just blend it? If you don't have another beer to blend with right now, just brew up a nice quick standard wheat beer. Those things can go grain-to-glass in two weeks if you do them right. Then you can blend until you get just the right sourness for you.

I prefer to dose the glass with sirup and then pour the beer over that to ensure it's adequately blended.
I'm to find more to try it with. Did you just use vanilla flavoring or did you find a syrup? I can't wait to try maple. I also plan on dosing the glass first. It seemed to sit on the bottom if I poured the beer in first.

I might still do that for some of it. But I want to try it with different syrups first.

1.) I just use the coffee syrups. One of them I have is Vanilla Bean for Vanilla Iced Cofee. Have also tried Strawberry, Mango, and Peach.

2.) Ayup. I tried pouring it into the beer the first time too. Then swirled to mix. the beer lost too much carbonation that way so I switched to beer on top the next pint. Have done it that way ever since.

However, I also drink mine without syrup often enough it gioves me a stomach ache from all teh acid.

I have used chokecherry syrup and homemade rhubarb syrup in my BWs. I still prefer them plain.

Just got a hold of some REAL berliner: Bayrischer Bahnhof.

Mine is WAY more acidic than this one. It says that this version is slightly restrained, but still. Now I see why a few of you drink it without schuss. I definitely don't need or want any in this one.

I'm really wondering how the judges are going to take mine now.

I really wish I could find a commerical version here. I had to brew it to have any idea of what it was or could be. I think the acidity of mine is spot on but my tolerence is not what it used to be. Fuggin reflux!

Still, would be nice to know how close I actually got.

Work out a trade with me

This place may even have more brands. I was sort of rushing to get home. I'd never been to this store before but got a heads up from someone recently to check there. They easily have over 1000 different beers. I was going to take pictures but felt weird doing it.
