New Brewer in Colorado

[Chosen]

Hi from eastern Colorado

So far i have only done extract brewing but have made an accidental wheat sour. It was brewed to be a Hefeweizen but got infected. A rye ale that turned out really well, and an IPA that was my first kegging experience.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the information in this forum. It has helped us alot getting started.

I don't like sours at all. I took it to the brew hut in denver to see what i did wrong, they told me I some how got wild yeast in there. I gave most of it away and only have a 6 pack left.

Yeah sours are a definite taste that takes some time to acquire. I am always hit or miss with sours, but my wifes love for lambics definitely helped in getting used to sour beers. Those yeasts are sneaky things.
