Bringing Sour Back
Big THANKS to everyone that helped!
My first two low oxygen brews were an overwhelming success. The second one, a gose-inspired sour, was particularly good -- one of the best beers I've ever tasted. The malt flavor was amazing, and it lasted 5 weeks in bottles at room temperature before deteriorating.
For the Gose I heated the strike water to around 100°F to do the YOS. I think that might have helped vs the first brew with the water around 65°F (Purely anecdotal; I don't have a DO meter, so I'm judging based on the resulting beer.)
Cheers!
