About this ebook
One of the most exciting and dynamic segments of today’s craft brewing scene , American-brewed sour beers are designed intentionally to be tart and may be inoculated with souring bacteria, fermented with wild yeast or fruit, aged in barrels or blended with younger beer.

This book details the wide array of processes and ingredients in American sour beer production, with actionable advice for each stage of the process. Inspiration, education and practical applications for brewers of all levels are provided by some of the country’s best known sour beer brewers.

Very informative book on sours. Easy enough to understand as a beginner, and complex enough to please those with sour experience. Has a nice selection of recipes as well.

The book is very informative, and the author is even super helpful if you email him about modifying the recipes.
