I'm thinking of adding some lactic acid next time I make this beer to get more of a real lemon flavor.
Mine? Was a small batch with Briess wheat DME and only Sorachi Ace hops.Did you have any wheat in the recipe? Maybe make an American wheat with this combo and see what happens.
I've made a number of Saison variants using Sorachi Aces, and I know one other person made my Sorachi Saison. I've seen a few others mention it in random threads, so I wanted to know: What have you brewed with Sorachi Ace?
Pilsen extract?6.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 55.8 %
2.00 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 18.6 %
2.00 lb Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 18.6 %
Can I get the recipe for this?
It's listed in the recipe pulldown under his name.
I noticed that, I was actually asking for the extract version or how to convert it to extract
well.. that's what you are asking NOW, but not originally.
Can you get pilsner extract? I've seen munich extract before, as well as wheat extract, but I haven't used extract in a while and don't know what's out there.
Pilsner extract is pretty standard, even comes in DME--Munich's a tougher find but you can get it in LME at the very least.
Wheat extract is usually 50/50 barley/wheat (or in that realm). I'd use twice as much of that as there is wheat malt, enough munich extract to make up the munich contribution, and then enough pilsener extract to make up the OG difference after those two.

Whirlpool and Dry Hop in a Rye IPA!!!!
Rye and Sorachi is amazing
Specifically I did this
2 oz Amarillo whirlpool for 30 min @ 180°F
1 oz Sorachi Ace whirlpool for 30 min @ 180°F
Dryhop 2 oz Amarillo 5 days
Dryhop 2 oz Sorachi Ace 5 days
5 gallon batch.
I do most of my hops after the boil. Use a 2 boil-3 steep /whirlpool-4 dry hop schedule. Next time I do this batch, will add an ounce of Chinook in the whirlpool
Works out well for what I like. People argue dry hop is aroma only. Different topic, but as I said for me, it works.
I got a huge amount of coconut in the last beer I made with Sorachi. It was a kinda turbid pale ale that had a lot of oats in, sadly I had serious siphon issues when bottling so EVERY ONE of them was a bloody gusher!
I think it's a hop I'll return to at some point but I've got loads to get through first. I think it's probably best suited to a saison a la Brooklyn, as a single hop brew. In a blend, I'd be tempted to pair it with a more orangey hop like Amarillo or Mandarina Bavaria.
Sounds good. Like I said the 3 times I brewed the Beecave Brewery Rye IPA it turned out excellent with totally different hops and one time even with a Saison yeast. So I'll give it a go with SA and Amarillo the next time. Maybe a split batch with US05 and Bell Saison.
