Man, I felt the same way about those mash temps when I read that email. I wish there was only one variable at play here instead of two (mash temp and wort pH). Oh well, I suppose if you add a significant amount of glucose to the boil, mash temp doesn't make much of a difference. That beer looks...

Jlinz, how did your brew turn out? I brewed something similar to this on August 1st. Gravity sample tasted great. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This sounds amazing. I'm definitely going to have to give this a try.

+ 5.5 gallons brown ale = 4291.5 gallons

OK, so I got a couple of responses from Lallemand re pre-acidifying wort: From Molly Browning: Great questions! I think pre-acidification does help a little bit as does your mash temp. The lactic acid is being produced from glucose molecules, so at a lower mash temp, you should see a lower pH...

This looks delicious. Please update when finished. At first I thought it was strange to use lactose and cane sugar together, but it makes since with this yeast.

My initial thoughts exactly, but then I wondered if it might result in a lower final pH? Or if it might have an impact on attenuation or anything else? From a cost perspective, a bit of acid malt and one pack of yeast might be cheaper than two packs of yeast and no acid malt (at least where I...

Any thoughts on pre-acidifying the wort with this yeast? I had originally planned on doing this in my gose recipe, but I'm tossed up on whether or not I should try it.

I got my Philly Sour in the mail much quicker than I expected. As soon as I keg a brown ale that is occupying my fermenter, I'm going to give this a try. Probably in another week or two.

I'd say it's your choice on the malt, whatever you prefer. I just used S-04 because it attenuates less/finishes a little sweeter. This also allowed me to use less lactose. Mine finished at 1.020. Kegged yesterday, initial tastes are about as expected.

Good stuff! I'm anxious to hear how all of this turns out. It's looking like my shipment will be delayed due to Covid.

I just checked the pitch calc and it doesn't seem to match Dr. Farber's recommendation from the webinar. Like I said in a previous post. Trust the guy who did the research, not the online calculator. It's not common that you have access to that kind of primary source.

I think maybe you misunderstood them. They say multiple times that you should pitch 1-1.5g/L. So for a normal 5 gallon (19L) batch, that would be 19-28.5g. 1 sachet (11g) would be underpitching, at least in terms of maximizing souring. 2 packs (22g)would fall right in line with their...

OK, I just watched the 1hr 20min webinar and there is a lot of good stuff in there. Something that jumped out at me were the factors that affect the amount of souring that takes place. A lot of this has been said, but just to put it in one place (so I don't have to watch the movie again before I...

As I said in a previous post, I had the exact same issue when using Lallemand Voss Kveik dry yeast. I think your conclusion is probably correct. Like most beers, mine continues to change as it ages. Some days it tastes better than others. Hopefully yours hits its stride after a little bottle...

I don't have a ton of experience with this, but based on what I have done, I would say definitely yes. Additionally the 1.010 FG probably doesn't hide/balance the bitterness like a beer that finished higher probably would. Also, the whirlpool hops add some bitterness. Something I have even less...

I know it's just a matter of time before I have something similar to me... Sorry, man!

I'm definitely interested. I just ordered a few packs and was planning an almost identical beer. I probably won't get around to brewing it for at least another week or two though. Please update and let us know how this goes. I'll do the same.

You could also split the wort, ferment separately, and blend them back together however you see fit. Might allow you to get some expression from all three. Just a thought.
