Notes: Ale to test test new Hops!
Boil Light Dry Malt in a couple of liters of water, add the hops give (start tentatively with 10 grams) boil for 15 minutes.
Add more hops (this time 15 grams) and remove the pan from the heat, let it soak for about 30 minutes with the lid on. Strain it then down into your fermenter, mix in the beer kit and make up to 20 liters. (ABV around 4.4%) |

Notes: What is a loquat? (https://www.splendidtable.org/story/david-karp-loquats)
Recommended to bring mash pH down to 4.0-4.3 (https://beerandbrewing.com/become-a-kettle-sour-expert/).
Steep grains for 20 minutes at 155. Bring temp to 170 and add in all of the DME. Heat for 15 minutes and then cool down to 120. Add 3 oz. of Omega OYL-605 Lactobacillus. I kept the last 1 oz in the fridge in case I needed it later. Maintain a temperature of 92 (+/- 2 degrees) (http://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Lactobacillus). Using a FermWrap FE650 for heating and an InkBird ITC-308 for controlling the temp.
After 72 hours, start the 30-min boil.
At day 3 of fermentation, I sanitized and cut up 6 lbs. of Loquat fruit. Discarded the pits. I put the fruit in 2 grain bags. I didn't use grain bags with my last sour and the amount of sediment was an issue on bottling day. I made sure to give the fermenter a little shake each day so that air wasn't trapped amongst the fruit. I've read that not doing so can cause some mold to start to grow.
2 days before kegging, I took out the fruit and squeezed as much liquid from them as I could. Kegged on day 30.
I'm happy with how this came out. I may have preferred closer to 8 - 10 lbs. of fruit, but loquats are a pain to de-seed. Tasted like a good sour with some fruit. Not like the new, over-juiced beers that are coming out. |

Notes: Clean and Sanitize everything then start!
Invert your sugar by:
Bringing one gallon filtered water or spring water to 180F/82.2C add 10lbs Cane sugar, 1.5 tsp/7.39ml citric acid and mix until dissolved then rest until clear not milky or continue to heat. Bring to boil and hold at 240F/115.6C for 45 minutes.
THEN:
Cool wort to 95F/35C. You can add (12oz/354.88ML frozen 100% no preservative orange juice to aid in reducing Temp) then add to fermenter when close to 95/35C. Add enough water to fermenter until 4.5/17.3L gallon mark is reached. Add 64oz/1.89L of 100% pasteurized lemon juice no preservatives. Aerate wort in fermenter. (I use a submersible hand held mixer that is sanitized) Once bubbles subside take gravity reading, Add yeast packet directly to wort. Airlock and ferment.
Add 16Oz/.47L lemon Juice on day two and the last 16oz/.47L 100% Pasteurized Lemon Juice (no additives) on day 3 of ferment or when you feel the ferment is ending.
(I don't like clarifying agents but there is always an option to make the brew clearer for you if you prefer more than time itself)
Rack and let clear for a week then..
Taste it!
You can back sweeten it here if needed. (I use erythritol then add priming sugar for bottle conditioning) bottle or keg as needed. Great summertime brew my father passed on to me that I have tweaked to modernized. |
