So I was brewing an APA last Wed. Right when I was going start my sparge I lost power to my kettle (electric). Id been reading a lot about Berliner Weisse so I decided what the hell...I pulled a thin decoction and boiled it with 0.25 oz of the oldest hops in my freezer. I sparged from my mlt, thru my chiller, and into my carboy. I knocked out at 95 because I wants to give the lacto a decent head start. 12 hrs later it was fermenting and 24 hrs later it was blowing off. I then chilled, aerated, and pitched yeast. It took a day or two but the yeast took off and is now starting to wind down. It's smelled pretty strongly of sour milk the whole time, but nothing that smells too terrible.
Sooooo how long do you guys think I should leave this in primary? After it stops and the krausen has dropped I'll take a gravity reading an see where I'm at. Not really sure how to proceed with this.
