Taste Notes

10-18: opened first bottle. Fully carbed. Head dissapates quickly. Cloudy, pale. A little brett in the nose, but mstly lightly sour. Taste is tart up front, changing to full-on sour. Not overally sour. Carbonation is spritzy. Sour finish. Drinkable, but kind of one note. Will probably age for a while longer and see if the brett develops much. 10-29: carbed nicely. Head fades quickly. Tart, tasty, no Brett. 11-21: Very sour up front. Brett is strong in the nose, but so much in the taste. Spritzy for good mouthfeel. Tart, spicy. Very happy with this beer. 5-13-20: It’s aged fairly well. Slight vegetal off-flavor, but still fruity and bright. Nice acidity. The brett isn’t really that noticeable. Mostly sour and phenols.

Notes

8-26: brewed 5.25 gallons of 1.044 wort. Added 30 ml to drop pH. Too much. Wort pH was 4.18. Pitched directly from pouch (no starter) onto ~75 F wort. Holding at ~75. 8-27: bubbling away. Small kräusen. 9-2: 1.012 9-13: 1.010. Lowered to 22.2 C. 9-29: 1.010 so quick cold-crash. Lowered to 8 C. 9-30: Bottled 4.75 g with 7.3 oz of table sugar for an expected carb level of 4.0 vols. Less fruity, but still tart, lemony and nice.
