The Captain!! Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a black saison this summer Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I'm going to dedicate something to sours when I get back home... loving the weird shit I have been drinking. Having a Little bang - Breakfast at Stepney oatmeal stout at the moment. The Parade Cellars is the best bottle shop I have been in.

I find the kettles sours a bit one dimensional but some of the barrel aged sours I’ve had were amazingly complex and probably right up your alley Ben, however, waiting for 12-18 months for a beer. I guess you could blend a new fresh beer into it too then. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive often thought about barrel aging as it’s pretty easy to get wine barrels around here but it’s the 200l of brewing to get the barrel full that’s put me off ha ha ha Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s mainly because of space. In an ideal temp room etc. i tried my local brewery that is a family friend and he’s just interested in selling up unfortunately. And yes, I did think about buying it too ha ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermoor Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It's not Friday but football is on and I'm on leave. Went into Liquorland and picked up a 6 pack of Radenberger Pilsner. I havn't had a Pilsner in quite a while, really nice. Maybe after the lager finally finishes I might squeeze one in before the weather warms up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Oh my. Big black and thick. Despite the IBUs not overly bitter. Decent hop aroma. As it warms up some licorice, reasonable sweetness and a fair bit of alcohol warmth. Yummy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealthing691 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) I will find out if I can but I would say hop wise it I think has nelson sav and bravo 7% abv I will ask .

Cheers, Lusty. Hey Lusty, i don’t believe it’s champagne yeast, well at least not all the time. Maybe to finish it off. The main contributor to getting it bone dry is an enzyme. glucoamylase. After reading about this a few months ago I too thought it was champagne yeast however now understand it’s basically a hoppy pale (IPA), turn the bitterness down to a 2:1 ratio to og:ibu. So hit around 30. tropical punch it with NZ hops including your precious Nelson Sauvin and then drop the enzyme. Tropical, white wine bubbly beer.
