My ginger brew now that the boil is underway.

The lacto starter seems to have already taken off, just grain and warm water after a few hours. Going to feed it with some wort that I took out before adding the first hop addition.

I was very surprised how well the lacto starter worked. In the two days it was in my Gose alone, it made quite the krausen and had a lot of activity.

Tackling a sour huh? Hope it'll go well. Got 2 and going to have a 3rd going in a few weeks

Yea, was going to ask you how it worked for you. Thinking about a gose too, but not going to be brewing it right away. Going to feed it, let it ferment out, strain it off the grain, then keep it in the fridge till I need it. Hopefully no more than a couple weeks...

I read (and it may be wrong) to pitch the grains and all which is what I did. Also, make sure it doesnt have a vomit smell. IT will be different, but shouldnt smell terrible.
 
That's the plan. Want to do a quick one first before tackling something longer term.

I haven't soured mash. Just added the bugs and let it go. I did a one gallon batch and took about 9 months before I bottled. Best beer I made. Too bad I had so little so I stepped it up. Got a sour stout that is about ready right now.

UPS is F-n slow. Deliver my beer now!!!!

Not planning to sour mash, but rather mash and boil as usual, then pitch the lacto first and let it go for a couple days, then pitch sacch.

Fins, that's what you did too, ya? You taste it before pitching the sacch?

Usually you can check the pH. Add the sacc when you want or just wait a few days then pitch the sacc. I want to sour mash soon. I'll wait till it gets warmer

Showing off the gift pack from the tour last night that I just unpacked. :)

I may have bi-polar disorder ;)
 
Orange juice. Have to work in less than 2 hours.



I really enjoyed it. They took a solid RIS and made it super smooth and creamy. Just be sure you follow the directions and pour it hard. The head takes a little while to build up. Hope I'm not over-selling it, haha.

Now it sounds even better.

Last beer if the night, I have a big day tomorrow :D

Have fun at Hunahpu day - drink lots! :mug:

Having water as I'm too floccin' tired to go downstairs. Especially after spending two hours in the elementary school cafeteria for a bingo night. Parents trying to play while kids bounced around like screaming banshees...
 
Working from home sometimes has its disadvantages. Working til 8 p.m. tonight as I finish building the presentation of presentations for an executive. FML right now.

Water. I really want another ****ing beer.

Beer gets the creativity juices flowing. Some of the best days "at work" were when I was working from home buzzed off my a$$.
 
Boil's done, chilling now.

Chilled the rest of that mead sample and drinking it now. Better chilled, added a couple drops of homemade vanilla extract to try it out. Good addition. Will be Dangerous stuff.

Watching FNL, such a great movie.
 
HB IPA with my chili. Off topic, but we gave up meat for lent. Tonight we made the beer bean chili from thug kitchen. If you haven't heard of this site check it out. The recipes are incredibly good.
