This one has been on our to-brew list for some time now, so it's finally time we had a go at our first sour beer.
Recipe Rationale
Philly Sour Yeast
We'll be using Philly Sour yeast which provides an easy and convenient way of souring the beer without needing to introduce other strains like Brettanomyces which can cause infections in subsequent batches if not cleaned/sanitized adequately.
Frozen Raspberries
We plan on using frozen supermarket raspberries, and won't be doing any other preparation on them aside from (obviously) letting them defrost. They will be added around 24-48 hours after fermentation begins to help drive the acid production of the yeast (read more about this in our Philly Sour Yeast Overview post).
Grain Bill
For the grain bill, we have mostly pilsner malt, along with smaller amounts of malted wheat, malted oats and some gladiator (dextrin) malt.
Hops
Small amounts of Hallertau Tradition will be added at 30 and 5 minutes to give some underlying bitterness and a subtle hop character.
Water Profile
For the water profile, we're going to use the Mild Ale Profile from Brewfather, which has relatively low levels of all key minerals, but a slightly elevated chloride to sulfate ratio to reduce bitterness and promote mouthfeel.
