Method:	All Grain

All Grain

Had a horrible time lautering as I didn't include any rice hulls to the mash.

Split the batch into three fermenters, two were pitched with 1084 Irish Ale yeast, and one with US-05 slurry from a previous batch.

I'm contemplating also pitching US-05 into one of the 1084 batches two-thirds into the fermentation to further dry it out.

I'm going to experiment adding 10 mls per 5 gallons of lactic acid to one of the batches to emulate the soured beer addition Guinness reportedly employs.

**Added 5mls of lactic acid to one of the kegs to start, not sure I like what it added to the batch although I perceive the bitterness being too high. Hopefully this gets better with time.
