  • Hoppy sour ale

    I find it harde to get nice hoppy aromas in my sour beers. Somehow, it's like our traditionnal method (WP + dry hop) doesn't impart what we would expect from fruity hops, leaving behind a rather bland flavour, no better fresh cut grass.

    We tried several times hopping a kettle soured beer fermented with US or BE yeast strains . We also tried blending NEIPA with lacto fermented beers and with kettle soured beers. We always end up the same results.

    We aim for a pH of 3.5-3.6, so that is not too sour, but I have this impression that there's something going wrong with "low" ph, hi level of lactic acid and aromatic oils.

    Any thoughts or experience you'd like to share?

    Cheers!

    Hey Zucker Bee, I don't know the answer to your questions, unfortunately, but Milk the Funk is a facebook group that deals specifically with wild fermentations and sour beers. I highly recommend looking them up and reaching out. It's a very active group of about 18k people.

    Cheers!
