Looks like it's in a bucket. Buckets are more permeable than a glass carboy or better bottle and will allow more Acetobacter to grow and impart a more vinegar-like flavor (if I recall correctly). If you want to continue your sour experiment with a less vinegary taste, maybe xfer to a carboy. If you want to see how your pale ale does with Acetobacter, let it ride!

think i'm going to bottle it tonight. i got two glass carboys, and 1 bucket.
Not sure if i want to move this to another one of my fermenters.

I got a ton of 12oz bottles i can put this in and toss away and not worry about cleaning them. my concern is trying to make sure this infection doesn't spread to other stuff.

hope it tastes good.

 

[Tiber_Brew]

Might want to taste a sample before going through the trouble of bottling. That's a beautiful pellicle, BTW.

+1, what's it taste like?

 

[COLObrewer]

excellent thread guys!

Mods: This should be stickied in the lambic/wild forum. Very, very useful.

Bump. Mods??

bump. Mods?

+1, Mod's? Maybe because the OP is not a paying member?

I wouldn't bottle that. You're just begging for bottle bombs at that point. You're in for the long haul most likely. 6+ months if you want the gravity to be stable.

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

 

[tankdeer]

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before.

Old photo of a lambic in February 2010. Would have been about 1 year old at the time. Started as WYeast lambic blend and augmented with dregs here and there.

Guess I'll have to take more pics as I've got probably 7 or 8 different sours going.

This thread might be the best compendium of beer infections on the web. And growing. Be a damned shame if it got lost and forgotten in the nearly 250,000 other threads on this site.

I don't think it will get much lower than 1.001. I'd bottle it.

I kinda doubt it too, but I'd make damn sure it was stable.

I'm paranoid.

 

[COLObrewer]

Threw some grain dust in 3 gallons scottish ale base, lacto I guess?

Initial innoculation was the juniper yeast

whoah-lly sh!t. I can't believe it but I wanna taste that right now. I love sours.

just so everyone knows, typing "mods" or "admin" in your thread does not activate the hbt superfriends klaxon of justice.

We either stumble upon it or don't.

We're all sequestered in monte carlo for the summer mod conference this time of year and we don't like to get out of the chaise lounges until it's time for baccarat and cocktails.

 

[passedpawn]

Thanks yuri. Good luck with baccarat.

Nicely done sir. Here is a pic of a Berliner Weisse I brewed with rye (Roggen Weisse?) finishing up. It was initially fermented with my Wild Eugene Yeast, then soured with a pint of my Biere de Garde that contains Jolly Pumpkin dregs.

The camera flash makes the bubbles on the right look much whiter than they actually are.

Cheers!
Kevin

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

That is a crazy looking pellicle.

Yea, looks like actual hair of the dog.

Just posted some pics of a new brett/bug fermentation starting on fruit.

[jtakacs]

nice setup b-dub... totally jealous over here!

just tasted my oud bruin - rip your face off sour with body, but a little drier than i had hoped... i'm hoping time in a wine barrel will intensify the flavors.

an update after a couple weeks and a slight temp increase:

 

[DannPM]

On my 100% Brett L Beer. Really didn't expect one of these but it doesn't surprise me!

I ♥ this thread.
