Cask Sour

[molc]

I had to use WLP570 in mine as the starter from the 500 wasn't ready. It's come out nice and sweet, with a touch of pear to it. That should be ok in the mix right? What was your fg out curiousity?

[nigel_c]

With the high mash temp FG should be 1.018. Lots of malts for the bugs to get their teeth (or whatever they have) into.

I racked off my sour yesterday to Demi's and left a few liters behind in the carboy. Should be enough bugs there but I have last 2 vials of sour mix to go in as well. Racked 5L onto raspberry, 5L onto rhubarb and left 10L straight. 
I'll bring along a sample to TOSH next Tuesday for people to try. It was in the carboy with bugs since last July/August so should give people an idea of what to expect down the line.

Hmm. Mine seems lower, 1.015 or so. Anyway, I stuck mine in a barrel. I don't have a CO2 tank to flush it though, so I'm relying on the dissolved CO2 to keep out oxygen for a few weeks. Hopefully the meet up will be reasonably soon.

Lads Whats the story here are we not way over required amoun.

[nigel_c]

Right so is everyone done at this stage?
We HAVE to set a transfer date at the next meeting.
It's beginning to drag on again. 

[Simon_]

I'm done. Got about 23L (full corny, full demi-john)

[Partridge9]

Big time, I have heading on holidays in two weeks, dont want to leave that baby in the sitting room in this heat - it will grow legs and change the locks !

[nigel_c]

And that's before we hit it with a big smack of fresh bugs.

[Boycott]

does there need to be just 1 transfer date or could we do two?

[Partridge9]

We can only do one, its not really fair on the host otherwise.

[nigel_c]

Our cask lives just outside Drogheda so one trip is better then two. We can accommodate people and try get the best day for most but it comes down to whenever out gracious host is free.
We can arrange drop off points for people who cant make it.
Fill a keg / drum and somehow it will make it up to its new home. 

[molc]

Ready when ye are.

[Boycott]

Shall we just make a date on thread? Doodle poll?
