Notes
General Comments
Yeast
- Abbey Ale WLP530 for primary strain
- Belgain Sour Mix 1 WLP655 in secondary with dregs
- OP recommends using RR Consecration, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Norrenboro Old Odense, Cantillon Kriek, and Oude Beersel Kriek dregs
Mash
- Recommended mash rest at 157-159 to leave plenty of complex sugars for bugs
Raisin Addition
- Raisins are chopped up and boiled in some of the first runnings before adding to the kettle.
- Some people also discusses raisins in the barrel (chopping them up and throwing them in)
Cherry addition
- Tart/Sour cherries (not sweet), puree, raisins, juice, etc.
- OP Recommended adding cherry concentrate after 3-4 months to give the bugs time to work on work before raising the alcohol
- Said that Lacto and Pedio tolerance is at 8% ABV
- Said to add the cherry concentrate after the beer has soured in the barrel
- “I'm planning on adding enough tart cherry concentrate to get to 1.094-1.095 equiv. OG which should be 2 gallons in a big barrel by my calculations. For a 5 gallon batch that would be about 24 fluid oz. in the barrel/carboy if I did the math right (the cherry concentrate is 70* Brix, 1.360 SG).”
