@paulywill @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz so what’s the plan? Make wort and mix it with raspberry juice and ferment it or something more elaborate?
@plactagonic@f.cz @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz
Well I’ve researched books, online (asked ChatGPT) and stumbled on the wiki at milkthefunk.com
take the built up starter I made from pine juniper/branches from July…it has bacteria, perhaps lacto that gives a nice sour taste
Freeze a few samples just in case, using Martin’s overview from Brülosophy
Make a saison/hefe like wort aim for 8 gallons
Maybe split batch into 2 glass carboys
Pitch one with just wild yeast, other w/ saf-05
…

Cont.
wait forever….
Transfer to secondary on top of a raspberry puree (haven’t decided vessel yet)
More waiting….
Try to wow some friends and family by July 2025
@plactagonic I’m researching right now (some info at that wiki using data) whether I should stagger the pitch… meaning use commercial yeast (saf-05) first then adding lacto to sour up, or pitch together and let nature do its thing.
Since this first time using this culture the split batch is probably my best bet.
