BeerMan 0 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I'm making my first American sour and will post some details about it. The beer's base is an English Mild. The yeast used is White Labs Belgian sour Mix I (WLP655). Here's a video showing the level of yeast activity to start the homebrew: I will post about this beers progress Edited August 21, 2017 by BeerMan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeerMan 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 A belated update. The beer came out good. It could have been more sour. I have paid more attention to lowering the ph so the lacto has a better environment to work. I have used a acidulated malt and/or lactic acid to lower the ph. Also, have patience when making your sour beer. It can take months. If you want quick results you can do a kettle sour. Another benefit of a kettle sour is the limited possibility of contaminating your equipment/brewing area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
