I’m pretty impressed. I checked today and she ended up at 1.010, and it’s about 7 days of fermenting.
Definitely a sour. And the tangerine and wheat blends in nicely. It’s almost kinda like a soured blue moon, but better! The tangerine gives it a nice undertone, although more would be good too.
I’ll recheck in a couple days but I have a hunch she’s done.
This beer would score at least a 38 at a competition.
What co2 range should I give this for bottle carbing?
Great attenuation from the yeast.
Sour didn’t seem to affect attenuation much as I thought. With a 152F mash, I would have expected around 1.007 or so, so it ending (likely) at 1.010 was closer than I thought.
Beer didn't taste green at all!
My IPA which only was fermenting for 6 days with US-05 is 1.007 at a 152.6F mash. It tastes pretty green though (as expected)...I suspect fermentation is about over so I don't expect it to go much lower. I'll wait a couple days to dry hop the be-jebus out of it.
I'm surprised at how fast the kettle sour is to make once fermentation is done. No aging necessary, the sour didn't taste green at all...once carbed it's ready for drinking!
