Homebrewing: Malt Extracts
Posted on 12/31/12 at 8:30 am

I noticed some recipes use so many pounds of LME plus some DME
Why would you use both?

Some places package their own 6 lb jug of LME then they need a little bit more extract to get it to the right gravity so they include some DME in 1 or 3 lb increments to get there.

I used Brewer's Friend and tinkered with the recipe to see the different results and it wasn't much of a change at all
another question regarding oak chips/cubes:
Do y'all re-use them or just throw them out after one use?

Hmm.. I have some oak chips in a kriek at the moment that I would consider reusing to keep a strain of wild yeast going if we brewed another sour beer.
I could see reusing them one more time possibly in stout or something like that.

Is this your first attempt at a sour?

Yes. Been in the fermenter since 4/20/12... Probably going to bottle soon.
Bought corks and cages the other day.
ETA: Fratastic is also holding half a batch of Consecration clone hostage... Brewed that one around summer time I think.

5 gallon batch? I'd love to taste it.

Yeah. I'll try to make that happen. Just have to get it bottled and hope that it carbonates and all correctly.

I'd hope so after all the time invested!
I guess patience is a virtue when it comes to home-brewing.

Absolutely the case with sour beers... but we can whip up a pale in two weeks no problem which is nice to bring to parties or whatever.

Yea, the only sour homebrew I've tried was a blueberry sour from Tetu, and I thought it was awesome. However, he said it was a complete accident and he couldn't recreate it. Damn.
Sounds like sour beers are an adventure.

I did the Jester King tour this weekend. They do a lot of barrel aged sours. Brewer said they have to dump it sometimes because it comes out awful.

I really need to try some more of their stuff. All I've had from them is a saison and wasn't too impressed. But the saison is one of my least favorite styles among the craft beer varieties.

Interesting. You've got to admire their experimental nature.

I'm not on the JK bandwagon at this point but I'm also not a sour beer guy and I'm not gaga over the bourbon barrell aged stuff. Most of it doesn't appeal to me.
I have heard JK has experienced major quality control issues

I agree with you except for the barrel aged stuff, I like that. I'm not big on sours or funk, so they just don't appeal to me
