Surprised I couldn't find a previous thread about this via search, so here goes...
Petrus Aged Pale is one of my all-time favorite sour ales. I have a few sours under my belt with great results, so i thought it might be fun to step it up and try to recreate one of my favorites. Anyone have any idea about what might be in this?
Here's what I assume...
- Due to the origin of this beer, the base beer is probably pretty simple
- Largely composed of German pils, due to color
- Very little to no caramely malts, maybe a little Vienna?
- No real idea on hops, this is probably the most difficult bit of info to get. Probably a typical schedule
- Mash pretty low
- A clean ale yeast like Safale-05 would probably be fine to ferment the base
- 18 months in a carboy with a toasted oak dowel, and a mix of pedio, lacto, and brett
Of course, I could be wrong about a bunch of this, what do you all think?
