What are you drinking now?

He also told me when I asked about how much to use when I used some in a batch of Hefeweizen, he said, “I would say that depends upon how much of the flavor you like. It tends to be subtle, so a full jar would be fine. The per batch sauergut is not as strong as the living reactor approach, but it is more convenient. In a complex beer like a hefe, the flavor is welcome imho.”
@ThirstyPawsHB had some of my Hefeweizen that was made with that sauergut.

Very much enjoyed!

Sampling my tropical pale ale. The first time I made this it smelled like pineapple. At the time I Kegged it this was the same but now that it has begun to carbonate it smells and tastes like grapefruit. Still could use a few more days to finish carbonating it will be a good one for the summer 4.3 ABV and 35 IBU made 2 kegs of this the second keg had a minor shift on one of the hop times, and was also just added to the fermenter right on top of the yeast from the first fermentation. The second should be 5.3% and 41 IBU. The second keg had some grassy notes after fermentation. We will see if throat is still present later, if it is I suspect it will be due to the hops remaining from the dry hop of the original batch. The only significant change from the first time I made this is the addition of a Jaded chiller allowing me to knock it down from boil to under 100 in about 5 minutes rather than 2 or 3 hours.

Good luck. That video is from member @Bassman2003 . I didn’t mess with the pressure cooker part of the video and just used a large blue speckled enamel stock pot I had. I wrapped it with a couple layers of Reflectix and used those little balls for insulation on top. It’s actually not too bad to drink straight when it’s done and I would describe the taste as Welch’s white grape juice. Another member I consulted with told me “If you get Stinky, putrid or vomit then something went wrong.” Mine finished with a pH of 3.5. I’ve been adding about 24-28 oz to a 5 gallon batch near the end of the boil. I think the exact amount depends on personal taste and a little bit of luck.
OT

I was going to ask how you guys were using this. I was thinking maybe it was something you would add to the mash in place of acid to lower the ph. And then I was wondering how you would know how much to use, etc.

You have to do some lab work kinda like wine makers do to determine the actual acid level if you want to use it in the mash. We can PM info so I don’t keep clogging up the beer pictures.

I think it's whatever is north of Canada

Great town

Doh! Just got out of the merch shop and there's hidden seating

 

[pshankstar]

At Frequentem for a few drinks. Between yesterday and today I’ve had everything once if not twice now. A local gem for sure!!

 

[grampamark]

Water. Faintly hop flavored water. Not a bad lawnmower beer, I suppose…

Honey Kolsch with local honey. Refreshing

 

[Rish]

Cider made on the trub of a kolsch I had just bottled. Had some hop bitterness early on which was kinda interesting. 8 months in the bottle and that has faded away.

Summer is starting today and will be in full force next week with triple digits expected. Keeping the NA going for a while until I restock my HB coffers.

So I go to BeVmo (big box liquor store) in Sacramento and get crap beer. Zero Russian River. I go to the small beer section in this little town in the mountains and bang! Starting out with STS Pils
