Had a go with Philly Sour. Very impressed.
This is a no frills kind of recipe that I came up with. At 7% ABV it has some body, but is still very refreshing.
3 gallon batch
1.058 OG
55% pale 2 row
40% white wheat malt
5% dextrose
7IBU Citra
Mashed at 148F for 60 min.
30 minute boil.
I added 1ml of lactic acid in the mash and it got it down to 5.3.
1pkg Philly sour
Pitched @74f
74f for 4 days
Added 3lb mango puree
Upped to 75. Not sure if that makes a difference. Was very active after adding the puree.
Seemed to be done at 8 days. Took a sample. 1.005 FG and tasted great.
24 hours later I took another sample. 1.005 again. The sample had no yeasty, hot alcohol or other green flavors at this point.
Day 9 I chilled to 36F and set the gas to 50psi.
12 hours later I purged the keg and brought it down to serving pressure (12psi). Maybe like 20 minutes later I tried a little sample. It was about 80% carbed.
It's very tasty. On par with some commercia fruited sours I've had. It's not super sour, but it's balanced. PH meter says 3.4. maybe I'll up the dextrose a bit more next time. Was thinking about experimenting with some lactic acid in the glass, too. Maybe next weekend.
At ~7% ABV and not quite mouth puckering it's dangerously drinkable. I don't taste any alcohol notes at all, really. Only in the belly.
Mango flavor is awesome @1lb/g.
I'll update this thread after it's had a chance to cold condition for awhile. I'd recommend trying it if you haven't yet.
