Thanks for the info! I was hoping this was the case. Appreciate the reply

So I'm doing a Northern Brewer Kettle Sour at the moment. I did primary fermentation, and it went well. I had good fermentation activity for a few days, and I let it sit in the primary for about 2 weeks. I tasted it, and it was really good. I added a fruit puree to a secondary (bucket) and...

^ Will do. I'm clueless but I'm sure I can figure it out lol. Thanks!

Fridge was a bit too low, that's why it ended up freezing. I turned it down, and the lacto is back to liquid. I'm debating if I should take the chance and use it, or just buy a new lacto packet. I appreciate the responses guys

Thanks for the responses guys, appreciate it!

Hey guys quick question. I'm all set to try my 3rd ever brew. I'm making a Gose. I have the liquid Lactobacillus Omega Yeast (OYL-605) which I heard good things about. It's been stored in my refrigerator.. when I went to check on it just now, it's pretty much frozen solid. Will that compromise...

I was honestly thinking that something may have been off with the kit. I followed every direction 100%. Maybe I'll look elsewhere. Thanks

100%. I'm planning my next one as I type this. No way I screw up another one lol

Thanks, I'll check that out! Yeah man really sucks. We were looking forward to this batch

UPDATE So today was the day we could finally drink the beer.. it had ZERO sour flavor to it unfortunately. Been doing research and reading and trying to figure out exactly what went wrong !

Such helpful info, thanks guys! So to answer some of the questions: -My temp was about 70 as I just had it in my basement. -I did not check the PH level, I didn't know I had it. - As far as the pic above, that superiorsat posted, thats EXACTLY what mine looked like before boil. Thanks...

Sure! So as per the directions, I did the Mash, Sparge, and added the Lactobacillus from a capsule that came with the kit. All of this was done on 12/05. I let it sit at room temp for 4 days, and on 12/09 I did the boil.

Were you ever able to figure out what went wrong?

Hey guys. Hope someone can help me out. I'm doing a Gose kit (Gose gone wild from Brooklyn Brew Shop) yesterday was bottling day. I did the mash, sparge, etc. And I added the Lactobacillus exact as per the instructions. When bottling/conditioning yesterday, I gave it a little taste and did...

^ Thanks so much!
