November 2026 updates

Hello Brew Bombers!

I have shared a couple of quick polls in the latest email regarding the club kit and an upcoming yeast experiment brew day. 

Since there are multiple ways to make a sour beer, we’re planning to have a couple versions of the next club kit. The first version will include lactobacillus for making a kettle sour, and the other will use sourvisiae for souring in the fermenter.

You don’t need to worry about your fermenter when using sourvisiae as it’s not difficult to clean like brettanomyces. Sourvisiae is a modified version of the standard cerevisiae ale yeast.

Please fill the Club Kit poll to let me know which version you would like. If no reply, the default kit will be sourvisiae.

I’m also planning on having another yeast experiment brew day on November 28th at Grain to Glass, assuming there’s enough interest. Please fill the Yeast Experiment poll to let me know if you’re available, and the temp control question will help determine which experiment to run.

If there’s any questions just let me know.

Cheers!
Ryan Mason
