Beer im planing
Ok, so im thinking of doing a stout, with a good amount of chocolate malt, little roasty character, and then fermenting it with Wyeast Brett L. only. Which is suppose to produce a Cherry pie flavor. Gonna try to shoot a mash PH of around 3.5 (not completely sure of this yet). To control the PH im gonna use a decent amount of acid malt. This is a little bit of a drunken Idea, so lets here some thoughts. I'm pretty sure I have never read of this being done, so might be a neat experiment.

Dude, that sounds cool as hell! Roasty yet sour? This is truly becoming a site for sour fans! I say go for it. How do you plan on hitting a specific PH?
Re: Beer im planing
It sounds like Im just going to have to play it by ear. Ill probably start off with just a little acid malt, and see where im at, then adjust from their. I have ph strips for different levels so that should allow me to get pretty close to what I want.Originally Posted by Redweasel

How big of a stout? I know The Mad Fermentationist did an RIS with Brett in the secondary, but not 100%.
This will be great, Brett L. is definitely the way to go. Although I've never used it, I'd be careful with the Acid Malt from what I've heard...have you ever used any? I really want to try some sometime.

Im thinking keeping the OG around 1.050. I have not used acid malt yet, and I have heard to be careful with it, but most brett only beer recipes I have seen have a good amount of it.

Sounds like a really cool idea, Ryan. ON a side note how is acid malt made?
Re: Beer im planing
I have no idea. I just know it is covered in Lacto. and lowers mash PH. Might have to look around and see if I can find out.

Decided I am going to pitch Brett B on the other half of mt 999, should I be doing something to get the PH down to 3.5 for it or what? I think that it will still work with out it but I was just wondering.
