Funky Blondy Mixed Fermentation Sour

FREE

Brewed by students from the University of Limpopo, this blonde sour beer was awarded bronze in the Intervarsitybrew competition’s sour beer category. The recipe uses a blonde ale base to express light to moderate malty aroma, possibly with a light bread or caramel note, and it also expresses low to moderate fruitiness, with medium hop aroma. Such low characters will not interfere with the sourness, acidity and funky character contributed by fermenting yeast and bacteria.


Fermenting Whey? Yes, Whey!

FREE

If you’ve made cheese, then you’ll be left with a considerable amount of whey. Why not use it to start a new fermentation project, such as whey wine, mead, or even liquor?


Viking Blood (Cherry Melomel)

FREE

This is a cherry melomel named after the seafaring Nordic legends — the Vikings — from where it originated. So, if not for anything, make this mead simply for the lore. The honey, sourced from hives kissed by Nordic breezes lends its essence, while the cherries impart a tartness that balances its sweetness with a tantalizing acidity.
