This recipe piqued my interest. I have a growing affection for sour beers. I like peach and I like ginger, so I thought I would give this one a try. It should make a nice late summer beer. I brewed this beer with my buddies Shawn and Chris. Brew day was fun, but one of my pumps crapped out again so I spent a lot of time making adjustments and plumbing changes to get around the pump failure. It was nice to have both friends lend an extra hand as I was scrambling to fix things. I hit all of my numbers and the yeast took off nicely by the next morning.

ReplyDeleteStarted out with way too much peach so I lagered it for a month or so. Still not great so I let it sit. Around Christmas it finally came into form and is a nice change-up to have in the kegerator in February. I can now serve it without reservations.
