Seems like it’ll work in about 3 days per the chart.

Ok. I also used WLP677 Lacto for souring, anyone know about how long it should take to start dropping the ph?

If using fresh peaches that have been frozen for a kettle sour, do you need to heat pasteurize the fruit prior to using as well? Also how much jalapeño should we use for a small hit of it?

When I add my Apricot purée to my kettle sour Belgian Blonde should it be in a secondary or can I keep it all in my primary.

Doesn’t it settle mostly when u cold crash prior to transfer?

How is it more of a mess with finer chunks or purée? I’m using Vintners Harvest Apricot purée.

I’m gonna let it sit on the fruit for at least a wk depending on how active it is based on what everyone is saying. Also, the OG was 1.060 and I pitched Imperial Flagship 1.5 wks ago and it’s still actively fermenting. I don’t think I’ve had a beer ferment this actively for so long, which isn’t...

It’s a sour, not a fruit beer but thanks. Hopefully someone else will know.

I will definitely of course. But only needing to have it on fruit for a couple day, do I cold crash during that time or after. It can ferment out prior to adding fruit.

I’m brewing a Kettle Sour Belgian Blonde that’s gonna get an addition of Apricot purée and from what I’ve heard u only need it on the fruit a couple days or so. With that being said should I cold crash during that same time frame as well, otherwise it would be more like 4 days on the fruit since...

That’s great. Thank you for the info.

I did a 5 gal batch. What size was yours.

How much is half a carton. The ones I got were a 4 pack of 2.7 oz shots each. I used all 4 and got to 3.8 in 72 hrs but mostly above room temp cause I didn’t have a way to keep it warmer and I did not pre acidify. Hoping that with fermentation it’ll drop a little more and then I’ll add my fruit.

Ok. The shots came in a pack of 4 that were like 2.7 oz each.

It’s been at about 90 F for a little over 48 hrs and I used 8 oz of the shots. I’ve got one 3 oz shot left but not sure if I should use it. I’ve also got lactic but wasn’t sure about using it since I already used good belly.
