Hello, I am Adam! I am Head Brewer at Cartridge Brewing outside of Cincinatti, OH. I am a former high school and university educator, and I have been making beer for a living for over a decade. My goal here is to give a behind-the-scenes look into the craft brewing industry, and to share any knowledge I have. I am not the perfect brewer, but I am always pushing myself to get better and to learn more. I have an amazing team behind me, my Assistant Brewer, Maggie, and Josh, our cellarperson and packging lead. Our goal in the brewhouse is to always aim for the bullseye, knowing we will never hit it. That mantra keeps us focused on continual growth, and helps us appreciate the journey of improving as brewers.

Thanks for this video Adam. Love it. Does philly yeast is temperature dependant to lower the pH where you need it?

Great question! From what I understand fermenting on the warmer side helps it generate acid.
This is awesome! Subscribed. Question...you measured out salts and acid after you mashed in, are you adding those to the kettle?
@adammakesbeer

Great question! The stuff you saw being measured is actually for the sparge, tho people do add salts to the kettle as well. I am adding it to the sparge to keep my ph down in the range I want.
I've had a pack of Philly sour in my fridge for a while,.. maybe it is time to give it a go! How many g/l is one hop pellet in your system. I need to get the recipe just right! Cheers!

Actually if you are making beer at home, just skip the hop addition and you will be fine. Cheers!
Hey Adam, I see you are using equal parts for your fruit addition but at what ratio to your wort in the fermenter? Also I can't seem to find the missing linck by omega... It's not even on their website of strains they offer.... Also what water profile are you using with this one? I would really like to replicate this one at home! Thanks man, keep up the great work!

Thanks so much! I am not sure missing Linck is publicly available. You can do this recipe with just Philly sour and be good tho. I will try and post a pic of the recipe for the water profile.

There are 16.5bbls in the FV.
How do you oxygenate the yeast? Do you have an inline O2 line + gauge? Also, how do you measure how the amount of dissolved O2 in the beer?
@adammakesbeer

Great question. I add O2 through a stone just on the cold side of the heat exchanger. I currently use a blichmann O2 regulator but I am looking to upgrade. I do not have a DO meter.
Love fruited sour beers so much! Genuinely sad my Cherry Sour is running low!

Hey what are your thoughts on Philly sour vs. Sourvisiae? In my experience Sourvisiae is a little more aggresive on acid productiuon. Why did you choose the Philly strain? Also, what final pH does your combo of processes usually produce for this beer (or maybe that's a Part 2 question)? ;)
@adammakesbeer

I have only ran Philly sour. Just anecdotally I have heard that the other runs too aggressively acidic. Ph runs down to about 3.4, but the finished beer turns out to be “approachable” tart.
Mystery!

Do you use the quantity from the package or higher? 'cause in their seminar they say the amount of yeast for a proper lactic sourness is higher. Edit> Got it from the video how much you use.
@adammakesbeer

You are correct tho. I do believe that another variable in driving acidity is increasing pitch rate. Good call!
Quick question: when adding the gypsum, you said it brings the bitterness into focus.......but only added 1 gram of hops (Street legal!). Editing fluke or just muscle memory for the gypsum addition?
@adammakesbeer
2 жыл бұрын
Great question. Yes that is one of the things that gypsum will do. It also is an important contributor of calcium that plays out in yeast health and fine tune balance of the beer from a water flavor standpoint. Does that make sense?
I didn’t know that you could use Philly sour in fermentation and not worry about contamination in other beers
