Notes: Method:
Make lactobacillus starter. Dissolve malt and water, add lactic acid. Kettle sour with lactobacillus, then boil with just a touch of bittering hops. Ferment with US-05. Split and add raspberries, blackberries, passionfruit to some volumes.
Yeasts:
White Labs 677 Lactobacillus delbrueckii (make a ~2 L starter with DME and yeast nutrient)
(or Wyeast L5223-PC Lactobacillus brevis)
(or WLP672 Lactobacillus Brevis)
"The Lactobacillus Delbrekii that you can buy from the beer yeast companies is homofermentative, and Meyer feels this is less good than heterofermentative species like Lactobacillus Brevis, which is common on malted barley from the malting process itself."
But it seems whitelabs themselves think delbrekii is more suited. But people disagree! ugh.
Aim for 3.5 volumes CO2.
Safale US-05 Chico
This guy reckons you can culture yoghurt for a berliner weisse:
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/08/how-to-brew-sour-beer-recipe.html
Aim for ~15 IBU (or ~10 if the sourness is decent). Not sure I need a 60 minute boil. Pitch wyeast smack pack directly with a spoon of 3711 to help. |

Notes: This enticing firebrand amber ale. Its velvety smooth malts are dominated by the presence of intense hop flavor. Reminiscent of the finest imported English Ale

Notes: Used what ingredients I could get - not an exact copy of the recipe but pretty close.
Dry hop in primary for ~5 days with Cascade hops - they sink to the bottom after releasing flavor.
This is one of my favorite beers, and since I can't buy it locally (outside of Seattle), I decided to brew it. |

OG 1.101
FG 1.004
Unplanned experimental recipe. Goal, to achieve a brew somewhere on the spectrum of saison-mead-ale
22 navel oranges juiced through Breville juicer. Est. 23grams sugar per orange (1.11 lbs), 46oz in volume.
Juice added at 10min to pasteurize
--------------------
7days: transfer to secondary
2lbs raw unprocessed honey added
Champagne yeast added
-------------------
14days:
1lb raw unprocessed honey added
(bubble 5sec intervals within 24hrs, so yeast still firing)
------------------------
1month:
Bottled using 1/2cup of raw cane sugar
Tastes pretty good. Fairly sour beer, but not funky at all. Fair amount of residual flavor and tongue tingling from the orange peel and ginger.
As original gravity was not taken due to multiple additions of honey, the estimate above is 1.101
Final gravity 1.004, and it certainly feels boozy after a few drinks.
-----------------------
April 3 2016 update
very nice head, very nice flavor other than being a little harsh. Cant wait to drink this in several more months and years.
------------------------
12/26/16 opened a bottle at Christmas, all the flavor still there..maybe a little dryer...really drinks like a hopped champaign |

Notes: Based on a disappointing recent sample of Marble Ginger and a Twitter discussion with an ex-Marble brewer, I wanted to make something killer fiery so I doubled his recommended ginger additions.
Day 3 - Boil Honey with water and 5g dried ginger. Strained, cooled and add.
Day 5 - Rack to secondary, add fine sliced fresh ginger in bag, add some brandy to the dried ginger, stick it in a bag, add to secondary.
Priming sugar boiled with water and 5g dried ginger.
