Want to go classic? Then we recommend the Raspberry, Blackberry and Apricot purees for a sour session ale with a remarkable balance of tart, refreshing fruitiness. Want to go rogue? That's cool, too. You can't go wrong with our pick-your-own fruit options. Use our Cherry or Peach purees to create something a bit different, or add a tropical twist to this sour by adding Mango or Passionfruit purees. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhatever option you choose, you'll end up with a sessionable, summery crowd pleaser that pairs well with anything under the sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrewing Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Style: Belgian-Style Wheat Beer\/Fruit Beer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Fermentation Range: 64 - 74F\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- OG: 1.046\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- SRM: 4.0\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- IBUs: 9\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- ABV: 4.5%\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft malt tones underlie a complex yeast-driven matrix of spicy phenolics and fruity esters, with up-front aromas of the chosen fruit puree and an unmistakable tartness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The base beer is a deep straw color with bright white head and a slight haze.

I've always loved sour beers, but I I've been too paranoid about cross-contamination with my other Saccharomyces based fermentations, and frankly, I often lack the patience to let a traditional sour do it's thing. Since kettle souring is quick, easy and relatively risk-free, I have embarked on a journey of making these simple, yet satisfying beers. Once I tried a specific commercial beer made in this fashion, I absolutely could not get it out of my head. Better yet, it was made with fruit. I had to try to make it myself, and this recipe is the result of those efforts. Don't be fooled by the seemingly simple recipe - the wheat and pilsner malt provide a clean malt base for the 1-2-3 punch of Belgian ale yeast, lactobacillus and your choice of fruit. The final product is certainly far more than a mere sum of its parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.northernbrewer.com\/products\/funktional-fruit-sour-all-grain-beer-recipe-kit\" title=\"Funktional Fruit Sour All Grain Beer Recipe Kit\"\u003eAll Grain Version?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Northern Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35321189171352,"sku":"B1143Y","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0440\/5811\/6248\/products\/B1143Y-Funktional-Fruit-Sour_group-w.jpg?v=1595087050","url":"https:\/\/supergoop532e-com.myshopify.com\/products\/funktional-fruit-sour-extract-beer-recipe-kit","provider":"supergoop532e.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
