Notes

Kettle soured Belgian pale ale.

Boil 1: 10 minutes. No hops, no sugar. Cool to 90F and ferment with Lactobacillus delbrueckii in a purged vessel.

Boil 2: 60 minutes. Add hops and sugar. Cool to ~60F and ferment with yeast prescribed below.

After fermentation/diacetyl rest, transfer beer into another purged vessel on top of dry-hops. Cold crash 48-72 hours.

Package -- take your pick. I'm partial to bottle conditioned, high VCO2.
