Follow up post: This has been a winner among people that like sours. Flavor profile is definitely Apple. Reminds you of a dry cider from a very sour apple! I'm going to try all the step discussed here to get more of the stonefruit flavors the next time I brew with this. pitch 2 packets...

Eight days after pitching 1 packet into 5 gal of 1.050 SG wort. Airlock activity has nearly stopped and it has dropped clear for the most part. My FG is at 1.017. Aroma of pear and peach. It has a very nice sourness. pH reads at 3.05. I tested the pH prior to pitching the Philly Sour and the...

Anyone else try fermenting a 5 gal batch using only one packet? The expected OG of my recipe is 1.050. I didn't realize I needed 2 when I ordered my supply and now cost/time till I would like to serve for a party is a factor. However, I don't want to waste what I have by underpitching and not...

Glad I found this post. I thought I picked up Golding out of the box at my LHBS and now on brew day I actually have Styrian Celeia. I guess the Goldings is not available. This sounds like a nice alternative either way and I'm not trying to be a purist about the Fuller's ESB clone recipe I...

I would like to make a run at a Honkers Ale. Did any of you get close? jbenjamin, AnchorBock, MeanGreen?

Hi, Love the forum and use it extensively when researching recipe ideas. You guys are great!. I have been brewing several years now. Went to all grain about 2 years ago and last year I achieved the homebrewer's dream... I now have a 4 tap tower mounted on a chest freezer to hold the brew and...

This recipe seems to have a huge following. I'm glad I found it. I have been looking for a "Party Beer" to serve at our July 4th bash. Sounds like I'll be able to brew, sample 10 gallons or so for quality assurance purposes, and still have time to brew it again! Say hello to Independence...
