Notes

Add additional 8oz of grain (I used more of the pilsner/wheat mixture) to the mash at the start of the souring step to inoculate it with naturally-occurring lactobacillus. Hold at 90F-120F for 48 hours.

Sanitize and freeze cranberries; add to fermenter after primary fermentation completes.

For 1-gallon batch, a half-packet of Belle Saison is plenty enough,
