Tune in to the Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® podcast episode 96 for more of Jeff Hardesty’s process and technique for hazy and sour IPAs. We used different hops in those beers in order to complement the fruit. We have brewed a peach version (Momotaro) and a sweet-cherry version (Mazzard) as well. The recipe is pretty interchangeable with fruit as it is designed to be like a cobbler. This beer was a fun one to create and one of our first regular-rotation sour IPAs. After adding the vanilla and blackberries, allow the berries to ferment out at 70☏ (21☌). Allow the temperature to rise to 70☏ (21☌) during the remainder of fermentation, following the dry-hop schedule. Hold fermentation at 68☏ (20☌) for 24 hours once signs of fermentation are visible. Aerate the wort and pitch the British Ale yeast.

After a pH of 3.2–3.3 is obtained, reheat the wort to 180☏ (82☌) and follow the hopping schedule for the second whirlpool.Īfter the whirlpool, rest for 15 minutes, then chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 66☏ (19☌). There’s no need to hold the heat at 95☏ (35☌), but don’t allow it to drop much below 75☏ (24☌). Pre-acidify the wort to a pH of 4.5, then chill the wort to 95☏ (35☌) and pitch the Lactobacillus blend.

For the lactose, remove the kettle from the heat, stir in the lactose, return the kettle to the heat, and bring it back to a boil for the remaining 10 minutes.ĭo not introduce the whirlpool hops at the first whirlpool, as they will inhibit the Lactobacillus blend. An adjunct is any fermentable that isn’t a malt so, corn, molasses, honey, unmalted oats, sorghum, raw wheat, rice or rice grits, stuff like that.

for incorporating unmalted gluten free grains (rice, buckwheat and quinoa). By grains, they seem to mostly mean malt. ALT-Malt Alternate Grain Maltings, Maltster, Australia-based small batch. Sparge the grains to obtain 6 gallons (23 l) of wort-or more, depending on your evaporation rate. By grains, they seem to mostly mean malt. Vorlauf until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle.

Mash the grains at 155☏ (68☌) for 45 minutes.
