Notes
A session-strength Berliner Weisse using the kettle souring method for quick turnaround and clean tartness. The post-fermentation addition of cucumber and mint creates a uniquely refreshing, savory-cocktail inspired beer.
PROCESS:
- Kettle Sour: Mash, collect wort, and boil for 10 min to sanitize. Cool to 95°F (35°C). Add Lactic Acid to pH 4.5. Pitch Lactobacillus (e.g., L. Plantarum). Hold at 95°F for 24-72 hours until pH reaches 3.2-3.4.
- Main Boil: Once pH is reached, boil for 15 minutes to kill the bacteria, adding hops with 10 minutes remaining.
- Primary Fermentation: Ferment clean at 65°F (18.3°C).
- Infusion: Rack the finished beer onto sanitized cucumber (peeled/chopped) and mint leaves. Taste after 48 hours; rack off solids when desired flavor is achieved (2-4 days).
- Carbonate high (3.0-3.5 volumes).
