Spontaneous Sour Beer

Today I’m brewing a spontaneous sour beer on my Anvil Foundry brew system using a turbid mash schedule. It’s gonna be a little hectic but this is one of my absolute favorite styles of beer. Spontaneous sours aren’t inoculated with modern yeast or bacteria cultures, but rather they’re inoculated by naturally occurring yeast and bacteria from the air. I’ll be using the foundry brew system as my coolship and I have a couple ideas for encouraging inoculation.

I guess now is as good of a time as any to give it a shot.

Now, let’s make some beer!
