Episode 1-3



Episode 1

Every year or two, hand down clean post boil equipment to your sour beer
-racking canes
-funnels
-air locks
-etc

Recommend high mash temp for sours

Flush barrel with oxygen before introducing beer, you want a slow introduction to oxygen through the wood.

Barrel Storage per THE RARE BARREL per 59 gallon barrel; 
8 oz citric acid
1 lb potassium metabisulfite

Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere is laid in oak for 3 weeks

Tart Cherries 9# for 5 gallons @ 3# from garden and 6# from jars, per Lennie

Tuba - Coconut wine

Brewday #017 Flander's Red Base beer

10 gallons = 7.5 gallon yield,
OG = 1.033 unexplained poor efficiency aimed for 1.044
Brewdays requiring relocation of equipment to remote sites for me, will be in the history books from now on.

SOUR NOTES

sour notes with Jen Talley

Use great quality Malt (Weyermann)
15-20% Munich Malt
Mash 156°-158°
Don't use Carapils
don't bottle a "sick" beer
When topping off, don't pour on top of the pelical, break it and use a
tube to pour under the pelical

on another note, "Dry-Hop the shit out of that!"
