So the brew went smooth today the "sour mash" tasted excellent.Really light SRM somewhere around 2-3. I was a bit worried by the smell because it smelled really sweet and had no desirable sour notes i was waiting for.The boiled sour mash tasted light crisp and pleasantly sour with some wild...

All finished up and its tasting great.it dropped down from 1.059 to 1.012 so its 6.30 ABV. its blue in the right light but it turns a pretty stable magenta if you don't have the right lighting or if your holding your phone at different angles. its getting cold crashed tonight with the last of...

Thanks for the link, maltodextrin seems to be a great addition to this project. I basically just want to see what adding heat does to this process the same way people cheat with sour kettling.

honey+ hot water= gravity of >1.050+ lacto culture+ heat

There has got to be people out there doing this.I cant find any links and i have made similar post. Within the next few weeks i will be "sour mashing" these products along with fruit juices and combos to see what results work best for my needs. No boil, just hydrated in hot water with lacto...

In your situation i think i would probably add some honey to the tea,I dont think you need to change your ph unless the ph is highly acidic.I, like the way you are thinking.I have had a similar idea but theoretically took it even further. What if you made the hop tea then freeze distilled that...

No one huh? Everything I said sounds perfect? no one has any suggestions, comments, or any sort of input that can help steer someone in a good direction. great. im brewing tomorrow i guess i will nail it. i found a decent read":Hoppy sour beers" if anyone wants to take a look. Within the...

dog hair ftw

Anyone have a suggestion for a recommend IBU? I have them round 40ish.I was just reading a post here on hbt that claims when you hop soured wort the "hop utilization" is cut in half.Anyone know anything about that? should i aim for 80!?!.does anyone know of any articles that can explain this...

i absolutely love bootleg biology i am extremely happy with everything i have used from them. their soleras are amazing the mad fermentations makes acceptably sour beers in about 4-5 weeks and the "new world" saison pafait is probably my favorite saison period.

I have close to 100 brews under my belt and i just started my first IPA! I despise IPAs but i have been nagged into agreeing on a sour IPA. As we all know there are more than a few ways one can go about it, this is what i chose. Sour mash blended to a clean IPA with summer hops.The sour mash i...

I hope if or when other people try a blue beer they post their tips, tricks or recipes in here. i would love to throw some cliotoria in right now while its fermenting. I am afraid i will infect the beer so i will probably wait until its cold crashing.

I pulled a small sample today because i needed to know what it looked like.So far lookin great. im pretty sure i am going to add some clitora at the cold crash but im happy withe the color right now.I still have a cup of the unfermented wort and it seems to change color drastically depending on...

The blue color is coming from the flowers the deep blue is assisted by the Ph of the carrots along with the calcium in the marshmallows. im pretty confident the beer would still be about the same color with out either of the those additions though. I did not leach the color out of the flowers...

no one huh? i got all excited fer no reason.

i brewed today.Its BLUE!! i went with a Carrot cake cream ale. Psillys rabbits cream ale to be precise. After realizing the flowers had a slight earthy flavor i decided that(rainbow) carrots would compliment that flavor along with being a alkaline root vegie that should help keep my ph high...

no i just help one run smoothly( i dont brew) i am a cellar man at one where i am aloud to use what ever i want.I brew with 2 friends so its just easier/more worth it to get at least 10 gallons each,each run. i dont have to pay for grain/hops either so its a bit easier for me to justify...

I am making working on this recipe now and i keep going back and forth between the idea of using Spirulina powder (blue-green algae). this page here has super expensive spirulina "proprietary extract" that turns water a very impressive blue. but all other pictures on the web look like nasty...
