Last weekend me and my friend were brewing a few beers in my garage. Me an IPA and him a german pale ale. Late last year i had my first Cantillon (gueze to be exact) and absolutely loved it (currently planning to hunt some down). I had this crazy idea of creating my own wild ale with the bugs in my own garage. After mashing both of our beers I did a party guile style with the spent grain. I just threw the grains into a pot of 180F water and let them sit for a 20 minutes or so. I also through the used hop bag from my beer into the water. Delicious hop water.. yum.
I did no boil with this batch. I heated the water to 210F to kill off any bugs that might of been on the grains. I placed the wort over in a corner and covered it with a mesh bag to keep the flies out of it and let cool overnight. I took a sample and let cool in my kitchen to get a OG. The OG is 1.030, I'm happy with that especially for a party guile.
Next morning, (approx. 14hrs) I placed it in a closed container and was playing the waiting game. Until I got home this afternoon
This is what i saw
and took this a few hours later
I cant wait to see how this turns out and if I can a house yeast out of this experiment. Will keep you posted on the process. :rockin:
Cheers!
