Beer in the Wild!

Beer in the Wild! Primitive beer v2. This year, our woodland project was simplified somewhat from the previous year. All fuel to heat the brew came from the local woodland, all cooling was done in a stream adjacent to the brewing site, all water was filtered from the stream. We used smoked malt, but only 1/3 of the grain bill, the rest was based on the Red recipe. We used birch sap but instead of using it as brewing liquor (as last year), we cultivated the yeast growing in it beforehand to ferment the beer with. My portion will be primaried with De Dolle bottle cultured yeast copitched with wild yeast from the birch sap. I’ll pitch in dregs from the sour portion of last year’s brew.
