I was skeptical about the Lallemand Philly Sour yeast over more traditional souring methods, but it produces a very pleasant, easy-drinking sour. It has quickly become a favourite at our small, seasonal taproom.

I've personally found that kettle sours almost always have a strong DMS funk to them that is really distracting. Not a fan. I've used Philly Sour a few times and it has always turned out far cleaner than my kettle sour attempts, or brewery sour beers. Would highly recommend for sure. Thanks for the vid!

I wasn't thirsty, but now I am. Very amazing sour recipe Trent! I will have to try this one someday. Any recommendations to get some graham cracker flavor in there as well? Or do you not recommend the graham cracker profile with this beer?

You could try adding more graham crackers. Or some honey malt maybe? Definitely some ways to experiment with it for sure.

Love q good sour. I feel like I have almost come full circle when it comes to trying different beers. I hated on lagers for a long time but now I find myself drinking them more and more. Do you think you could recreate the original Newcastle recipe? The new recipe they have in the States is awful and it's a beer that used to bring back so many memories.

You can absolutely do it! Start with a partial mash, and try one of those souring yeasts. Makes it super easy. You already got the fermentation down which is really the hard part

Is it necessary to pasteurize when pitching Sourvisiae after fermentation? Enjoyed you videos.

@TheBruSho 28 күн бұрын

Based on what I've learned since making this you do not need to worry about sour bacteria infecting gear with those yeast (sourvisiae/philly sour) it just produces lactic acid during fermentation but you can clean as normal

@aaronweyl2272 11 ай бұрын

Very well cleared explaining of methods about ways to make sour beers! I never tried Sour beers myself, as I'm more cider lover XD Also, I thought Lime and Vanilla don't mix.

@TheBruSho 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! And I would say the vanilla flavor is very light with the amount I used. More to complete the key lime pie theme but totally could be omitted if you don’t like it

@aaronweyl2272 11 ай бұрын

@@TheBruSho Anytime! Nah, not like it's bad or anything. I'm sure vanilla does add sweetness that may combo lime flavour as long it doesn't overpowering. Similarly, how I used orange and elderflower for brew I made. I'll have to see if the tastes well balance or not.)

Thanks a bunch for this video! I'm just starting to get into brewing and I've always been interested in trying to brew my own gose and this one seems super interesting to me. I do have one question though, in the listed recipe you have: "Boil for 30 mins, 0.25oz Motueka @ 30min, -0.5oz Motueka @ flameout" Is there a typo in this? Wouldn't this just be adding all the hops at 30 minutes or am I misunderstanding a step?

@TheBruSho 5 ай бұрын

Hey thanks, so to clarify: Only boiling for 30 mins. Adding the first .25oz at the top of the boil and the .5oz at the end of the boil
