Satan's Anus Stout
Foreign Extra Stout • All Grain • 5 gal
I was warned when I made a Sour Mash that it would smell like Satan's Anus. I did a 20% sour mash to give this stout a little twang.

Brew Day Notes

Brew in the bag mash. Held at 152 for 90 minutes. Pulled bag out and put in Sour mash water. Added Sour mash grains to regular grains for sparging. Sparged running the water through twice. Made a .5 Liter yeast starter using 1/3 cup amber dme to .5 liters of water. Created the starter the night before and pitched it into the wort about 24 hours later, keeping it a room temperature Original Gravity: 1.085. I use a blowoff tube and kept my fermentor in a large bucket of water to help maintain temperature with a beer this big. After 24 hours I see I made the right choice as this is a really active fermentation, blowing extra foam right through the tube. It is holding temperature at about 70 degrees in spite of all the the activity.
Sour Meets Stout

This beer turned out perfect. A great balance of Sour meets Stout Bitter. The head on this beer is thick like whipped cream. Tasted it next to Stone's collaboration cherry stout, and they were a good compliment to each other. Mine being sour and dry and theirs being cherry and chocolate.
