How you like Omega's yeast?

Their lactobacillus blend is amazing. It can kettle sour a beer in 2-3 days. I haven't used any of their other yeast offerings, though.

I picked up some of TYB's house sour blend that I will be trying out, but even though I'm brewing it now, I won't even taste it til July/August. It has 3 different saison sacc yeasts, 16 different brett isolates, 4 different lacto strains, and pedio.

Cool. I'll give them a try at some point. Saw they have a lot of IPA strains I'd like to give a shot. I ordered some ECY today to try their Scottish Ale. Also ordered a vial of White Labs Brett Brux to secondary a batch I'm planning to do soon.

I've heard good things about the WL Brett Brux. The last Scottish Ale I brewed was with WLP 028. I'm not a fan of the style, but I used a decent portion of peat smoked malts in the grist, that toned down the maltiness a bit. The only other Scottish ale I've brewed was with wyeast 1728, which was an absolute malt bomb, and a lot of family and friends loved it, so I gave most of it away.

I just popped open a growler I carbed with my Açaí Gose. It honestly came out much better than I expected. Sour, slightly salty, and packed with Açaí flavor and aroma. Definitely one my best home brews to date.

Looks delicious.

It definitely is. I'll gladly share the recipe, if you ever feel like venturing to the sour side. How is your HB coming along?

Hopefully I'll get to that point. This Sunday will be Bottling day and I'm excited! Smells like good beer through the airlock...

It's been 5 o'clock since 1:30 over here. Beer batch number two for the day, aka NEIPA, is starting to mash right now. 9 ounces of hops, all whirlpool/dry hops for this 5 gallon batch. Nelson, Mosaic, and Citra. 23 lbs. of grain. Water adjustments done. This should be one juicy brew!

I'm glad you like it! That's one of my favorites from Aslin.

 
 
Much appreciated.   I was telling the 'Bum it is pretty cool that we can try beers from all over the country because of our locations.   Especially this small batch stuff.
