Hey all!!!
So I'm going to give this grand mysterious beer style a shot. I love it! I must figure out how to make it!
I think I've got a solid idea of the malts, mash and hops....
This style seems to go off the rails once we start talking about how to ferment the darn thing!
I have an incubator that can get up to 200F that holds a 1 gallon carboy and a 7 cubic foot freezer that can also heat up over 100F.
I was thinking of going with a 1 gallon sour mash and then fermenting the remaining 4.5 gallons with a Kolsh yeast then mixing the sour mash back in.
Many of the threads I have read seem to indicate that you need 1.5 gallons of sour mash, so i'm wondering, can this actually be accomplished with only 1 gallon of sour mash?
If all else fails I can just rack onto some rubarb and go from there.....
Any thoughts or ideas on best sour mash techniques that use either 1 full sour mash or do a mix would be great!!!!!!!!!!!
:fro:
Thank you so much for any help!
