Here's a shot of the bottle dregs in starter. Some Cantillon, hill farmstead, jolly pumpkin, prairie, goose island, and stone brett dregs in 1 liter of wort. Got some fermentation activity going.

5 hours ain't bad for a double brew.

How are you doing the gose?

Posted this earlier but it seems TD went down.
Odd.

Gose is being done same as always.

Short boil, gigayeast lacto for 24-48 hours @95, then pitch 1007 German Ale yeast.

2 kegs blew this weekend. No good. Have 20 gallons fermenting though.

For the first time today I added sulfites to a sour beer to kill off the microbes. In the end I will have no idea if it works or not but I will believe.

Didn't get to brew this weekend since the wife went out of town and there were too many kid activities. So brewing tonight. At least it'll be light for a good chunk of it.

I've got a question on Gose. When brewing, is kettle souring the most common method? I finally got my saison brewed, but would also like a quicker turnover sour, and im really digging the gose style, after having a few friday. Had Grimm's super spruce and its fantastic, and i really like Sierra Nevada's Otra Vez. So what is the standard brewing method for having a good, yet relatively quick turnaround on a gose?

I'd say that it probably is LINK but I find it way too easy and haven't experience any of those baby diarrhea or vomit words they keep throwing around.

I use the path on the right side of the flow chart.

Works very well for us and has a really quick turnaround time.

For more reading on these type beers.

Only thing I might change up sometime is what Canuck was talking about with the lacto in a keg to make it easier to purge O2 and save some lacto for next time.

That's the most expensive part of the batch is the 10 gigayeast pack.

Yeah, just heavier stuff to move/lift and took much longer to heat the water. This is exactly why I didn't try to do this for the first time when I had to take care of the kids.

Yeah. Quickly realized I needed/wanted a pump once I started messing with 10 gallons.
You using a keggle now?

That'll probably be next.

Bought the keggle from LSUBoo. Did a 5 gallon batch on it last weekend. This is the first 10 gallon batch. Luckily all the grain and mash water fit in my cooler mash tun.
