I like the "It depends" approach.

I'm a fan of the "relax, and have a homebrew" approach.

No lie, listening to this podcast about Berliner's and Jamil just said that adding Lactic Acid to the keg after normal fermentation to achieve the sourness is akin to microwaving a steak. Sure you can do it but it kind of tastes terrible. Figured that was fitting for the F/D board.

Absolutely.
What were some of his suggestions if you don't mind?

Had to go to a meeting, so I am only at the grain bill stage. he is about to start talking about various souring methods.

Okay here is the low down from jamil
Recipe
OG 1032
FG 1006
IBM 4
4.2 lbs of Pilsner
3 lb of Wheat
Mash 149
Hops:
1 oz Hallertau 4 % for 15 mins
Boil 15 mins
Pitch:
European Ale Yeast (Wyeast 1338) + Lacto (wyeast 5335) at the same time at about 67 until your sourness level is reached.
Other souring options:
Sour mash: Too inconsistent results based on the various bugs and yeast on the grains. Can produce great beers but also terrible ones.

I do plan on hitting Crooked Stave, probably the only place that I'll make a special effort to visit Posted on 7/10/13 at 5:01 pm to rds dc
You know you want to bring back some Crooked Stave beers and build up cultures for your TD brewing friends.

How confident are you in the open air fermentation not totally fricking it up?
This confident....
I really have no clue. I want to move to that so that I can up my production volume without buying any new equipment. My farmhouse wit isn't ready for bottling and is tying up my carboy. I have a bucket that I wasn't planning on using but figured it would work for open fermentation.

After reading up on it, it seems like 100% lacto gives varying results. Some people say it works great while others do not like the results.
Yeah, you have to get a good strain of Hetero lacto because the Homo lacto doesn't produce alcohol. I'm pretty sure Mad Ferm covers that in his blog post

That sounds like the notes I take from his shows too. Cool. Thanks.

I'm sure that can be arranged. I hope to score a few of their 100% brett offerings

I brewed a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale clone this past Sunday. Can't wait to try it the color was beautiful when I was done boiling the wort.

I always look forward to that one. Let us know how the clone turns out

How well/long do grains store? I am considering buying extra grain when I get the ingredients for my next pale ale, but I don't want to buy extras if they wont last

Uncrushed grain has a pretty decent shelf life. I wouldnt hold onto crushed grain for more than a couple of months, if that.

I am just killing time at the office until I can go home and brew. Going to try the Berliner Weisse out since its a short boil time and its a friday night. Friends are coming over to drink/brew/watch Sharknado. So I dont want to have to be outside for 45 mins more.
Posted on 7/12/13 at 3:31 pm to Fratastic423
Looks like I'm gonna brew a Pliny clone this weekend. Tomorrow is preferred if I can get enough stuff done.
