Martin is brewing a fruity sour beer but replacing all of his brewing water with... Gatorade Zero. Lots and lots of Gatorade Zero. Then he's making adjustments to try to get the mash to convert and the beer to sour. Will a Gatorade Gose actually brew?

It was really surprising how good this beer turned out. Can't wait to see what you come up with next 😄 Cheers Martin 🍻

Norm's tastebuds need to be preserved and studied by science. He's such an amazing taster

You added so much calcium that you created your own pH buffer. calcium reacts with lactic acid to calcium lactate which buffer extremely well at around 4,0. We had the same problem at work

I came to comment the exact same thing. The salts in the electrolyte could contribute to the buffering as well. A follow up experiment would be interesting!

Now brew a beer and replace the water with beer. There is actually historical recipe for a table beer that is along this line.

@mr.somebody1493 8 ай бұрын

Excellent Substitute for Table Beer. As small beer is apt to become sour in warm weather, a pleasant beer may be made, by adding to a bottle of porter ten quarts of water, and a pound of brown sugar or molasses. After they have been well mixed, pour the liquid into bottles and place them, loosely corked, in a cool cellar. In two or three days it will be fit for use. A spoonful of ginger, added to the mixture, renders it more lively and agreeable to the taste. From The New Receipt Book by G. Millswood.

You can grow your own bacteria by doing a 3 day sour with a hand full of grains in 500ml of water in a flask on a hotplate preferably a heated stirplate. After three days it's ready to pitch. The bacteria, mostly Lacto, is much more interesting than most one note Lacto additions.

Martin House Brewing in Fort Worth tried a lemon-lime Gatorade beer one summer. It was fairly awful. So my wife and were intrigued when we saw the video's title. I'm glad it worked out for you. Some Aussie researchers brewed a beer years ago with something akin to Pedialyte to try and prevent hangovers. I guess brewing a gose with Gatorade is roughly the same as that?

Brawndo was(maybe still is?) a commercially available beer that was made based on powerade, so not quite the first ever to try it, but certainly a fun concept. I would however change a few things on your kettle souring with good belly, specifically, I'd drop that mash pH target to 5.2 maximum to let that beer dry out to a .006-8, and will also set you up better for the souring, then add lactic acid before the good belly to get the pH about 4.4, final pH should drop to about 3.0 - 3.2 and get you a lot more zing

@TheBrulosophyShow 8 ай бұрын

Yup good points. I’ve done the pre souring with lacto with other batches but usually Good Belly chews through this stuff without help.

Since the artificial sweetener isn't fermented, doesn't that make for a pretty sweet final beer (perhaps why Norm noted sweet balsamic)?

Honestly, and I am sorry to be negative, but my first thought was you must be running out of ideas. I'm glad it was deemed a success, pickle aroma or no, but what are brewers supposed to learn from this experiment? How many of us are really interested in brewing with gatorade and all of those chemicals/preservatives? Not to mention the expense of purchasing gatorade. Personally, I'd be much more interested in an experiment using Philly Sour vs Sourvisiae in making a gose/sour (using water).

@Marshall_Brulosophy 8 ай бұрын

Hi there! As producer/editor of The Brü Lab, I can assure you it has only a single ~30 second pre-roll ad (from Imperial Yeast), which is very intentional. If you actually heard 5 minutes of ads prior to the start, the only thing I can think of is your particular podcast server is placing them for their own profit, which I believe is illegal. Please do reach out if ever you run into a similar issue, as I'll be sure to nip it in the bud immediately! Like you said, advertising is a necessary "evil" (even though we promote companies/products we actually believe in) that allows us to keep producing the show. We do our best to keep everything balanced, hence my concern about other interjecting their own into our podcast. Cheers, Marshall
