Red Sauco Ipa

[mrchino73]

HI to all!!!!! Just wanted to share my new brew. It s a red Io, with the extract of a plant that grows in our Patagonia called Saúco.

I was kinda worried because the fg was too low, 1005 and I never had such a measure....

But it turned out to be the most spectacular one I've ever brewed....

Nice head, colour, taste, aroma.....

Unluckily here in Argentina the temp is around 36°...and I might have one of 2 problems:

Either my drinking glass has a hole at the bottom.or the temperature makes my beer evaporate! Because it ends upvery quickly!!!!! Hahahahahahahh

Once again, thanks to all for each and every advice I received,when I first started!!!!!

Regards

@mrchino73 Maybe a bigger glass will solve your issue.

The beer looks great. Well done.

I've just Googled "sauco" to find out more about it. If I'm not mistaken it's the plant that produces elderberries and it's science name is Sambucus. I assume this an ingredient in the liqueur Sambuca. I reckon @mrchino73's latest creation could be a very interesting beer.
Would you care to share your recipe for the benefit of others?

Thanks for sharing, Mrchino. Unfortunately I don't have the capability for all grain but I'm sure you'll get the interest of some of the adventurous brewers on here. I might try an extract version with sauco to see how it goes.

Looks absolutely sensational. Top stuff.

How much of the elderberry did you use?

The recipe suggests he used 500g of sauco extract.

[ben 10]

Ah yes, missed that.

Would make a fine catharina sour methinks

[mrchino73]

Don't know Catarina Sour, but I can assure you that this beer it's NOT sour! It's an IPA, so it's bitter,but the Saúco extract balance it and makes a very tasteful one.

I started withe the coopers kit,but had a very bad experience ( not Coopers fault,have to recognize that)...that's why I took the all grain lessons. Only one day, 6hs....and learned everything needed. Already had the fermenter,so I only had to buy 2 boiling pots....
