After a recent trip to the grocery, and seeing they fresh rhubarb, I decided to finally experiment with the package of roselaire yeast I had sitting in my fridge. I combined 2 lbs of strawberries and 10 stalks of rhubarb with 3 cups of cider and simmered to kill of anything as well as soften everything up. Blended up the mixture and siphoned the juice into a 2 gallon carboy and topped with apple juice and pitched my roselaire. Inspiration was one of my favorite "local" beers, new glarus strawberry rhubard.
The carboy is currently sitting in a 72 degree room give or take a few. I'm worried that the rhubard combined with the yeast blend will get too sour...is there A way to stop the souring process if this happens? I saw the mad fermentologist has tried something like this before which got me excited, love sour beers!
