Notes: Sour Starter: (3 days prior to Mash)
1. Boil a 1.035 gravity starter and let cool to 100 degrees.
2. Inoculate the starter with a handful or 2 of crushed 2-row or pilsner, cover and let it sit for 3 days.

Sour Mash: (Eve before brew day)
1. Complete your normal mash regiment, add 10% equivalent of acidulated malt (22oz) to bring the PH down to 4.3 or lower, sparge normal, and bring the pre-boil wort to 180°F for pasteurization. Chill with wort chiller to 115°F. Drain into cooler.
2. Pitch the lacto starter sometime before bed, Wrap the cooler in blankets and let it sit in the garage (This is in florida during the summer, northern climates will need a way to maintain heat in the 95-105 range) Check the pH in the a.m. and be prepared to boil (you want a PH of 3.8 to know it is finished, it takes roughly 12-14 hours depending on temp)
3. Clean & sanitize flask. Make a new starter for your German yeast and put it on a stir plate for pitching the next day.

Brew Day:
1. Bring to boil, follow hops/boil schedule as normal, chill, and drain to fermenter.

Fermentation:
1. Chill to 64°, pitch yeast and keep at 64° F until activity subsides. (4-5 days)
2. Raise temp to 68° F until activity is complete.
3. During primary, let the berries thaw, then re-freeze (this will break down cell walls). Add 6 pds frozen Raspberries and hold for 2-3 days.
4. Crash to 32° F for 24 hours.
5. Keg and force carbonate

Notes: Line the 7.5 gallon kettle with the mesh bag, fill with 2.5 gallons of tap water and bring to 164°F. Remove from heat.

Mash-in by slowly adding all 5.8 pounds of grain into the water and inside the bag. Stir for 2 minutes to prevent balls of grain from clumping together, creating a consistent mash. The temperature should equalize to about 154°F.

Cover the mash, only uncovering to briefly stir every 20 minutes. Heat 3 more gallons of water to 185°F.

After 60 minutes, mash-out by carefully pouring the 185°F water into the mash, stirring to equalize temperature to about 170°F.

Slowly raise the grain bag out of the liquid, allowing the wort to drain from the grain. Hold the grain bag above the kettle for about 5 minutes as the wort drains. Top the wort off with water to 6 gallons

Bring wort to a vigorous boil. When the boil begins, add 0.5 ounce Northern Brewer hops in a mesh bag.

After total of 60 minutes of boil, remove from heat. Warning: After wort cools below 180°F everything that touches it should be sanitary, and exposure to open air should be limited as much as possible.

Cool wort by placing pot in ice bath or by using a wort chiller until it is below 70°F. Transfer to sanitized fermentor (either a carboy or a fermentation bucket).

Use a sanitized auto-siphon racking cane to remove enough wort to take a gravity reading with your hydrometer. Make a note of this number, since you will be using it to calculate the actual alcohol content when it's done fermenting. The reading should be around 1.032.

Carefully pour yeast into cooled wort (it should be below 70°F), and agitate vigorously. Cover fermentor with a sanitized stopper and airlock. Ferment in dark place, keeping ambient temperature consistent, preferably between 65 and 68°F.

Bottle after 1 to 2 weeks when fermentation is complete, using enough priming sugar for a medium level of carbonation. (0.9 oz of priming sugar per gallon)

Notes: Brewed 11/16/2013 Hit mash temp at 154 and recirculated about 3/4 of a gallon. Hit 5.2 pH on the dot. Pre-boil gravity was 1.050 which puts it at about 79% efficiency. I got a little less boil volume (8 gal) than usually, probably due to the absorption rate of the oats. I used Greg's chugger pump for recirculating and to sparge with and it worked really well. No problems with stuck sparge. It might have been why my efficiency went up but it's possible because I boiled less. I hit 5.75 on the dot. I also cooled the wort down to about 68F because I had some extra ice. First day temp was dropped down to about 62F and by evening had raised up to about 65F. Day two the brew was about 56 or 66F. Day 3 fermentation started to slow down a lot so I let it drift up to 68F and in the evening I took it out of the swamp bath. Day 4 it's at 70/71F. Bottled on 12/1/13 and then kegged a little bit of the excess. Got 24 bombers and 7 twelves on the bottle. Carbed it to 2.1 volumes of C02. Bottle Code OMS.
