I was looking at social media the other day and saw that a brewery near my old stomping grounds had done a collab brew with a local (to me now) brewery, making a sour kveik. I thought...wow. That sounds pretty awesome! I really like sour IPAs, and I had a few good ones during a recent visit to Scott's Addition. I also learned that I do not like sours with lactose added, but to each his or her own, right?
I was preparing to do an IPA and I had purchased some GoodBelly Straight Shots in order to brew a watermelon sour later in the summer. I'm still going to do the watermelon sour (I have about 14 oz of watermelon juice sitting in the freezer right now), but I thought I'd do my Nordic IPA again, as a sour. I've got all of the ingredients already set up and ready to go, all I need to do is add the three days on a hot plate for the Straight Shots to do their thing, and I'm good.
Brew Day: 11 June 2019
Partial Mash:
8 oz 2-row
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb golden light DME
4 oz table sugar
Boil #2 (20 min):
*14 June 2019
Hops:
14 g Azacca (10.4%) - @ 20 min
14 g Mosaic + 14 g Huell Melon - 10 min whirlpool/flameout

Addendum, 16 Jun: Dry hopped today.
Addendum, 20 Jun: Bottled; got 8 good bottles and one re-purposed soda bottle.
Addendum, 3 Jul: Put the soda bottle in the fridge to chill it, and much like the non-sour version of this beer, it was clearly over-carbonated.
