Brew day 4/20/16. Mashed at 152 for 2 hours. Batch sparged. 11a had first runnings (OG 1.067) and was fermented with BMY A4 (taste test 8/30 and it had no sourness from the lacto, so I added 10 oz of GoodBelly Probiotic with L. Plantarum). 11b had second runnings (OG 1.031) and was fermented with BMY G4 yeast.

Notes:

11b: Pleasant, light-bodied, low-alcohol, sour fruit beer. Sourness is noticeable, but light. Hopefully it will sour up more with time. I also hope the carbonation will improve a bit (it's only been bottle conditioned for a week or so, so it should). Blackberry flavor isn't overpowering at all; I'd actually prefer a bit more. Overall, it's good, but I'm hoping it will improve more with time.
