Notes

This recipe is loosely based on a kettle sour with the addition of some light caramel malt to add residual sweetness. This was in place of the original recipe using ketchup and tomato puree at kegging. The recipe writer says the purpose of the ketchup is to soften the tartness with the ketchup's sugar content.

Note two tomato additions, the 6.6# is tomato sauce, the 138 oz. is fluid ounces of tomato juice. The sugar addition is to account for the sugars in the sauce and juice.

I will adjust the tartness of the finished beer using lactic acid to achieve the desired tartness.

Additional smoke flavor can be added with liquid smoke on finish if desired.
