Notes: Gonna kettle sour with wyeast 5335. Full notes below.

1-2 day kettle sour with either WLP672 brevis (2.5 billion, 110f) or Omega plantarum oyl-605 (150 billion, 90f) or wyeast 5335 (10 billion, 95f). Need about 30-100 billion cells.

0.5 liter 1.04 lacto starter 24 hours before keep at recommended temp and swirl but don't areate unless brevis. Add 5g-10g chalk an ounce of pasteurized Apple juice and some yeast nutrients if desired.

OR, make a 0.5 l starter with 2 tsp of non fat Greek plain yogurt and do it all at 110f...
- To sour 5 gallons of wort with yogurt, make a 1 liter batch of unhopped starter wort the day before brew day. Add 2-4 teaspoons of live yogurt to the starter wort. Maintain a 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C) temperature for about 24 hours. On brew day, and after the 24 hour sour starter is finished, mash and sparge a low IBU wort as normal, boil for a few minutes, and then chill the wort down to 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C). Pitch the yogurt starter into the wort, and hold the temperature as close to the 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C) range as possible. Bubbling CO2 through the wort is advised if possible to prevent potential off flavors, but is not required. Within 24 hours, the wort should be down in the 3.x pH range. Boil the wort, adding any hops that the recipe calls for, yeast nutrient, etc., and then cool the wort down to Saccharomyces pitching temperatures. Bob's your uncle! [2]

Refer to milk the funk wiki. And other sour kettling articles.

sanitize wort first by bringing to boil before lowering to lacto pitchign temp

consider loweing hte ph to 4.5 using lactic acid before pitching the lacto (add about 2-3ml lactic)

let the lacto go until ph = 3.5-3.6

Notes: This turned out better then I had expected. Very close to Irish death. Perfection. I think the lactose gave it a smooth taste and creamy feel.

ou will need:
2.5kg Liquid Light Malt Extract
1kg Liquid Wheat Malt Extract
1x Lager/Pilsner Grain Pack
20g EK Goldings Hops (4.2% AA) – 60 min boil
30g Cascade Hops (6.8% AA) – 15 min boil
30g Chinook (11.4% AA) & 30g Cascade (6.8% AA) Hops – 5 min boil
30g Cascade Hops (6.8% AA) – Dry Hop
Safale US-05, MJ M44 or WY1056 American Ale Yeast
Whirlfloc/Brewbrite* (Optional)
Procedure:
A day before, place 10-15 litres of water in closed containers in a fridge and chill.
Steep Lager/Pilsner Grain Pack for 20-30 mins with 1 litre of hot tap water (not boiling).
Strain liquid into a large saucepan. Rinse grain with another 1 Litre of hot tap water into the saucepan, and discard grain.
Add another 4 litres of water and 1 kg liquid wheat malt (approx.) to the saucepan, and bring to the boil whilst stirring.
Add 20g EK Goldings hops.
After boiling for 45 minutes, add 30g Cascade.
After boiling for 55 minutes, add 30g Chinook and 30g Cascade. Continue to boil for the last 5mins.
At the end of the 60 minutes, turn off the heat.
Add the rest of the malts and stir to dissolve. Place the saucepan in a sink of cool water for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the contents of the saucepan into the fermenter, and top up to 23 litres with chilled and tap water to reach a starting temperature of 18-20°C. Stir vigorously to aerate.
Add yeast and ferment as close as possible to 18°C**.
On Day 4 of fermentation, add Dry Hops of 30g Cascade to the fermenter. Bottle or keg when gravity is consistent over two days.

Notes: 7.4 gal of strike/mash water needed at 160 deg F.
Add grains in bag, stir and steep for 60 min.
Wrap kettle in towels and keep covered. Temp should stay consistent around 152 F. After mash, turn on burner, stir grains and get temp to 170 F. At 170 F, cut heat and let set for 15 min.
Remove grains and let it drain into kettle.
Start 60 min boil and hop schedule.

Finish cooling wort with chiller to 70 F and pitch yeast.

Notes: Brewed 9/28/14. I accidentally under struck (153F instead of 163F) the water and had to top up with a gallon of boiling water (strike was 29 quarts then). Hit 147F which is a bit low but decided to leave it at that. I added more salts to adjust. I only recirculated about a half gallon because I didn't want to cool it too much. The pH ended up being 5.2. Not sure why as it was predicted to be 5.6 but that is an acceptable range. I decided to add a half ounce of hops at 90min to help prevent boil over. I ended up collecting about 9.75 - 10gal of wort. Pre-boil gravity was 1.064 which put the kettle efficiency at 79%. At about 20min left in the boil I cranked it up because I was worried there was too much wort still. Probably should not have done that as I ended up a bit short. I ended up with about 5.2 to 5.3 gallons in the fermenter. I topped off with prolly about a quart of water which in retrospect I didn't need to do as I am going to add corn sugar but oh well. OG was similar to what I predicted although I wanted to maybe get a bit better efficiency. Pitch was about 68F but I plan on fermenting it a bit lower. 9/29 I iced the brew down a bit last night and it was sitting at 65F in the morning. I also dosed it again with about a minute of oxygen. By evening it had risen up to about 67F so I cooled it down again to about 65F. 9/30 morining it had heated up to about 67F so I cooled it back down to about 63F. I iced it periodically throughout the day and by evening it was up to 67F so I cooled it down to about 65F. 10/1 by morning the beer was sitting at about 65F. I added the corn sugar mid day and it kicked the volume up to about 6gal. I put in a bit more % wise then I wanted to because of the dilution factor. By evening it had heated up to about 68F so I cooled it back down to about 65F. 10/2 the temp had risen up to about 67F by the morning. I am planning on just letting it rise up slowly. Fermentation on this beer hasn't been as vigorous as I expected. Maybe because I pitched so much yeast. 10/3 I have kept the fermentation temps below 70F and mostly hovering around 68F. 10/5 took the beer outta the swamp bath. Last couple of days it was hovering more around 70F. The ferm has slowed down but still going. 10/6 the brew is still fermenting but it has slowed a bit (not much yeast has settled out yet though), sitting at about 76F. 10/9 ferm is pretty much done, there is still a little bit of foamy krausen on the top though. 10/10 fermentation seems to have quelled. Took a gravity reading on 10/13 which makes it way drier than I expected. Guess maybe the low mash and corn sugar dried it out a bit and made it ferment more. Tasted the sample and it was quite alcoholic and possibly a bit cidery. 10/20 dry hopped. 10/24 I biofined the brew with 2 tbls. 10/26 cold crashed. Kegged on 10/28. 11/19 decided to dry hop it more with 3.5oz in the keg because hops are fading. Beer was initially very boozy and dry but after a couple weeks in the keezer it blended together really nicely and is malty and a bit hoppy. Most dynamic change flavor wise I have ever seen in a beer.
