My mosaic IPA looks about ready to cold crash and dry hop:

None of the stores around me had Wyeast lacto in stock, so I decided to try an experiment with some probiotics to see what they could do to wort. I have a little starter going to with a couple capsules of probiotics. The probiotics had half a dozen different lacto strains, so we'll see what I end up with.
Looks like my hops finally shipped from Label Peelers, so I can hopefully get my double brew day in next weekend of Pils/Citra SMaSH brett DIPA (thanks to rds for the Crooked Stave strain), and also the partigyle no-boil sour. I have a backup commercial sour strain if the probiotics don't pan out this week.

I've been kicking around the idea of using half 2-row and half Pilsner in my next ipa. I may just go 100% pilsner

No official plans yet but want to brew an IPL after brewing something smaller to pitch on its yeast cake. So need to figure out what small Lager would be good with that yeast.

I bottled this sour earlier this week that was hanging out with some figs for about 6 months. Figured it was ready to bottle

How did it smell & taste? Nothing beats watching a brew evolve over months and months

The aroma and first flavors are sweet, reminiscent of figs but not too much. Then the tartness, funky sour takes over. I was really impressed

Another good read from Brulosopher. I know I've read some of yall here talk about using gelatin but there's something about looking at a side by side picture that gives me motivation.
On/Off
Will pick up some gelatin tonight and try on future beers.

My probiotic starter smells and tastes like yogurt. I guess that shouldn't be surprising, but for some reason it did surprise me. It has a very light tartness. Similar to the light tartness you get from yogurt. I might try it again at a little higher temp and see if it can get any more sour. Someone on another message board got there probiotic starter down to 2.6, which is starsan level acidity.

Do you typically add the entire bottle of vanilla purée?

while you are waiting for his answer, I will say 1.5-2 oz (the bottle is 4 oz) is plenty.

ugh... I'm still waiting on these.
I also made the mistake of throwing other stuff I wanted to hops on the order in addition to the hops and now it's just sitting there. blah!

That's what I figured. Added half yesterday. Just wanted to verify.

We are apparently on a similar brew schedule
We added half of the 4oz bottle of puree last night as well.

into a keg or secondary? Either way, taste it today and see how you like it. You can always add more
