My kettle sour following this base recipe. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/training-wheels-berliner-good-intro-to-sours.579458/

2.5 gallons of the base sat (is sitting) on 6lbs of fruit goop (mango, pineapple, and papaya). It's only been about 5 days, but the aroma is good. It's still very sour smell forward though...wondering if the fruits will pop at some point.

On the palate you get an instant hit of pineapple and papaya; the mango flavor is subdued. Just enough sour pucker to be easily drank from both sour and non-sour drinkers...it's good!

Looks and sounds tasty!
 
And the last taste of the day comes from the Guava Kettle Sour. It has a very yeasty, doughy aroma to it from the guava which is quite interesting.

Looks like grapefruit juice (these are yellow guavas).

The flavor is pretty fooking epic though! Guava punch to the nuts! Very happy with how it came out!!

I hit the Bacardi way too damned hard yesterday. So, taking it easy today.

Margarita- (6oz reposado, 4 oz Cointreau, 2 oz lime juice).

and the other half bottle wound up in sink and cupboard. Gusher with notes of infection. Would not recommend.

Hand made putter from my cousin.


Oh, and a 32 oz beer-o-rita, the Hopslam from earlier, a golden nugget road beer while preggo wife was driving, and then, as pictured, the first pull of the session NEIPA (4.59%...hazy pale ale?)

Coffee- I’ve been having trouble with mango too- very subdued flavor. I get more mouth feel from mango than actual mango taste.

Honestly I wasn't expecting it to come through, but it wouldn't been nice. Mango itself is not that strong without sugar so maybe a non fermentable could make a difference... Just an idea.
