Mango Lassi Sour (Fruited Sour Ale)

The inspiration for this beer comes from the traditional Indian Lassi drink, a sweet or spiced yogurt-based drink, commonly flavoured with fruit such as Mango. Like my other sours, this beer will have wheat and oat additions to add body and fullness. I’ll also be adding some lactose to counteract the sourness add to the body of the beer. For the fruit addition, I’ll be adding about 4kg of pureed mango as well as 1L of mango pulp (or mango nectar if I cant find the pulp). [Read More]

Mango Sour (Gose)

Time for another sour! This time it’s going to be Mango, utilising 3kg of mango puree. The process will be the same kettle sour as my previous ones: - Flaked Oats will be added to give the beer body, mouthfeel and slight sweetness. - Fruit addition will be added during primary/secondary to get a fresher flavour and avoid cooked-flavours. - A mesh bag will be used to catch the fruit particles and make kegging easier.

Raspberry Sour (Berliner Weisse)

This sour is pretty much a copy of the strawberry sour/berliner weisse I did last time. The only changes i’m making this time around are: - Adding more fruit (4kg) in a pureed form (wholesale) which contains 15% sugar. This will up the ABV so the grain bill will be lower than normal. - Fruit addition will be added during primary/secondary to get a fresher flavour and remove cooked-flavours. - A mesh bag will be used to catch the Raspberry particles and make kegging easier.
