    Seems like everything is geared that way. Kids soccer games, cookouts, you name it. Right in the middle of the week at ungodly pre waking hours, not at normal hours like 11 pm or normal days that everyone has off, Like Wednesday.

    So I went to the Saratoga Beer Festival on Wed. It was ok. The big events were all like 8-5 today. Imagine! Having the big events on Wed, in the middle of the night...ugh.

    There's a forum here for sours (Lambic and wild brewing). Brett adds that...funk flavor. Lacto adds the sour. I have had a few great wild beers and tried to duplicate. Meh, its good (I am proud for my first attempt) but not competition good. But the women were hoping for the syrup sweet...

    lol. Yup, on purpose. First infection and I gave it to the beer. On purpose. lol. This thing sat on raspberries for 9 months after primary. I guess you have never tried a sour before. The mildest of them kinda have a wine like quality to them. The question was, how to make it palatable...

    Like a sweetener free sour patch raspberry with a hint of beer and a hint of that...funk. edit: How do you define that funk taste of a sour? Sweaty gym sock? lol. Most sours have it...I cannot define it.

    With what? Its my only sour, I don't like Belgians...I dont think it would blend well with an IPA or a Porter.

    Oh and has it been mentioned that brewing beer is just catching a yeast infection you wanna actually swallow down?

    Evening. So I tasted my first attempt at a sour today. Tongue lashing menace of a Raspberry. 9 months its collected dust for. Problem is its too sour for the women who I let taste it... I cant drink this all alone...ideas before I keg it and try to finish it by myself?

    Well, carrying over trub wont kill a beer in secondary, wont really affect flavor at all much. More of a clarity thing. As long as you use a hose on your spigot and dont splash the beer during transfer.

    I secondary for dry hopping, or other flavor additions like oak or cacao chips. I also rack every batch into a carboy, condition at fermentation temps off of the cake for a few days then cold crash it for a few before kegging.

    Kids are gone. All growed up. And I do like going to functions on weekends. But I've been doing this all my adult life. It is stable and pays the bills. What do you do? Oh and we call "swings" what I do. I work three second and two third shifts a week. A swing shift.
