I added 15ml to just under a gallon, and it seems to have a nice level of sourness. Can't entirely confirm this immediately, as it's presently carbonating, but I'll get back to you on it after another week or two.

The question... How much lactose to use? I've got a small-batch BW going right now - about 2.5 gallons, split between three 1-gal jugs. I'd be willing to experiment with one of the three and toss some lactose in, but frankly I have no idea how much I'd want to use.

I brewed 3 gallons of BW on May 30th and had the same gravity thing... OG was 1.033, and after a few days of just the lacto sitting on it, tonight it was at 1.010 or so. It even looked like a krausen had formed, based on the trub stuck on the sides / top of the fermenter. I guess it could've...

Thanks for the responses. I found a low watt density 1650W element which is pretty cheap, so I'll probably go with it: Amazon.com: RELIANCE WATER HEATER CO #9000253 1650W 120V Scr Element: Home Improvement Cheers!

Keep in mind that there are beers out there like Wild Devil - IPAs with Brett. A whole ton of hop character would be hard to work out in a wild beer, but it's not impossible to mix hops and brett or other wild yeasts. Just quite challenging, I have to imagine.

Yes, only 1 gallon. I'm trying it out first. And trust me, if it's good, I'll start up another gallon or more as soon as I try it. Assuming it does finish fermenting in a month, I'll try it then, but I'll definitely save some bottles for 8 months or so.

Just brewed a batch of Apfelwein today after finding the recipe yesterday... It really seems to have that effect on people, doesn't it? I made a startlingly awesome discovery while ingredient searching, though. While looking for juice at the HEB Central Market on North Lamar, I found Central...
