Gose

Nice find John, but I'm with Ben on this one.

 

Having a nice supply of good soft country rainwater from a clean roof into a clean tank, I don't think I'll be adding salt to it to make a brew - not until I've made the other thousand or so recipes out there that I'm busting to try, anyway.

 

But like the article said, it's a tribute to human endeavour that they were able to play the cards they were dealt, while drinking lemonade... (Did I get that right? rolleyes )

Mate I thought you were doing a 10L batch. That grain bill looks like it is for a 23L batch?

 

My malt bills for gose are pilsner and wheat and acidulated when I didnt kettle sour. Good amount of acidulated for a 23L batch. I used 23g of salt for my brew so you could up it to get that salty hit from a gose.

 

Why the red x? I haven't added frozen raspberries to beers before but I was thinking 1-1.5kg would be a good starting point.

 

What's the OG for your brew with that malt bill? Seems a bit strong

23 l I decided as I do like the style  and it will be higher than gose but all I am aiming for is lightly salty and tart not the exact style .ABV high 6"s .I realise it way high for a gose .I am trying for sour  tart with only a little  hint of saltiness   hops I am unsure the (Red x taste and hue)

Ive tried a couple of higher abv kettle sours, loaded up with hops. They didn't work for me personally.

 

I still stand by 23g salt will give you that hint of saltiness. Halved I don't think it would be detectable, esp given your raspberry addition and higher abv and red x addition.

 

I like the sound of the original recipe you linked. Why don't you follow that first go around, then experiment and wind it back or amp it up on subsequent brews? That's usually my approach

thanks but  the grain is already ordered so that is it will see how it goes .the acidulated is coming separate  the salt 1g a litre is the go I just put 1g in a litre of water and I see what you mean . Thanks for the input I aren't going to load it with hops  was thinking maybe  simcoe 10 maybe 15g FWH  even 20g any suggestions are great.

Mate I'm sure youlll keep us posted on brewday and as it ferments and particularly when it hits the glass.  Will be very curious how it turns out with the 1kg of Red X and the higher ABV.  Could be fantastic and encourage others to brew similar!  A strong, red, gose!  Regarding hops, these sour beers don't tend to be very bitter.  Good call going FWH and no late additions.  In my Berliner Weisse, Gose and Catharina Sour, the IBUs were low, between 9 and 14 IBU.  Chuck it into Beersmith to work out how much to put in at FWH to hit this bitterness.  Maybe because of higher ABV and higher residual sweetness, you could push it to the higher side (but not too high!)

Thanks for keeping us posted on this beer. Did u add 1.5kg raspberry purée as plannned? Was it just frozen raspberries thawed and then blitzed with a stick mixer?

 

i did 1kg frozen raspberries straight out of the packet into the fermenter. Next time I will up it to 1.5kg and thaw then blitz them. Just want a tad more raspberry to perfect my recipe
