Homebrewing Thread: Volume II
well did you get your spontaneous ferment?
I dunno. I brewed Friday night and ended up cutting the burner at 11 pm. By 8 am the next day it was down to 86 degrees, so I went ahead and drained to my carboy and it's sat there since. No signs of fermentation, but research tells me to not worry until a week or so later.
Recipe was:
7 lbs Pilsner
3 lbs wheat
1/4 lb Acid malt
4 oz 8 year old crystal hops at 60

Can I ask, why the crystal hops? Stave off any bad bugs maybe? I’d be worried whatever IBU’s are left in those old hops (if any) would prevent any lactic acid bacteria from forming, assuming that’s what you wanted to capture outside of wild yeast. Then again, age of those hops probably means that your alpha acids are pretty much gone.
