Alba truffle and mushroom sour

[Home_alone1]

So I was looking at jesterking’s Snorkal beer and wanted to brew something similar but instead of smoked salt use truffle salt.

The plan

50 percent winter wheat
50 percent Belgian 2 row

east Kent Goldings for bitterness

dried chanterelle mushrooms in whirlpool along with alba truffle salt.

Wlp590 saison yeast along with Lacto and Brett

What would be a good way to sour this ? Kettle sour ? Or a traditional souring ? I’d like to try and keep the truffle aroma as much as possible. I saw a thread on here from a few years ago about truffle beers but it seems to have died out. Does anyone have any advise ? I’ve never made a sour beer but I have this thought stuck in my head .

Look I've gone along with some crazy damn ideas on here... "Go for it dude" I say, "what's the worst that could happen? Sure lemon chocolate raspberry ice cream sour Porter milkshake with Peruvian clams and the milk of the Himalayan phoenix, Definitely, sounds great."
However finally, in this case, I'm going to have to call madness and insanity, heresy and nonsense.

That genuinely sounds like the worst thing ever. Chanterelle mushrooms don't even dry well, but that's the least of your worries if you ask me.
Might as well add some garlic and parmesan.
Seriously though if you do brew it I definitely want to know the results. Preferably with an accompanying video of victims tasting the product.

You are the James t Kirk of brewing, sir/madam

Keep in mind that degrading mushrooms become toxic fairly quickly, I wouldn't try to ferment them.

Kettle sour.
Skip the mushrooms.
Skip the Brett.
Add the truffle salt at bottling/kegging.

Think Gose with truffle instead of coriander. I could get behind that.

Rph , that does sound better than my idea lol.

Sanity prevails. Although I'm a bit disappointed.
You might have a nice beer with just the truffle salt there.
Although you could probably get a similar but cheaper flavour using an old sock as a teabag

Add the mushrooms that bruise purple

If the mushrooms are safe to use...
Doesn't sound that crazy to me, read the Beeradvocate reviews on the Jesterking version.
I would guess it would just add some faint earthiness from the mushrooms.

Fair points @oli-aus

He asked how to keep as much truffle aroma as possible, so I suggested a process that made sense to me. I think the mushrooms would probably overpower the truffle, and Brett would do who-knows-what to it.
I'd run tasting trials before packaging.

BTW, this guy makes a mushroom extract:
