Summer Fruit Philly Sour | Easy to Brew Sour Beer

We're big fans of fruity sour beers. Using Lallemand's WildBrew Philly Sour yeast is the easiest way to start home brewing sour beer as Andrew shows in this video. Also, we found using frozen fruit to be a great way to add fruity tartness and vibrant colour to your brew.

looks great lads. I like to use these fruit packets too, I've found I get the best flavour when I stick the fruit in the blender first, then refreeze it to kill off any bacteria and break down the cell membranes a bit more. I've also found that Philly sour works really well when you use 2 packets in a 5 gallon batch

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions 🍺 We’re due to do another Philly soon 👌

Got a philly sour bubbling away now. Excited to experiment with this

[@BrewBrosUK]

Awesome! What fruit are you going with? Purée, dried, frozen?

[@BrewabitRick]

Looks good ,did a wheat beer with frozen raspberries and it was lovely. Nice work cheers 👍🍻

[@BrewBrosUK]

Thanks 🍻 Not bad for a first attempt!

[@owencampbell138]

Good to see you back gents

[@BrewBrosUK]

Thanks! Sorry for the quiet summer....seasonal work is a killer! More content coming up soon 🍺

[@jonathonmoore3656]

I'm going to give this a go very soon. How do you go about measuring the gravity/working out your percentage with adding the fruit halfway through the fermentation like that?

[@BrewBrosUK]

We work out the sugar content in the fruit and use a standard brewing calculator 👍

Interesting to see this, i tried to modify a peach IPA kit last year using the philly sour yeast but the bitterness interfered with the sour - I'm keen to try again as i have a pack of philly left in the fridge and i hadn't thought of using the frozen berries i was going to try puree. Would there be an alternative to the torrefied wheat or would you say it's required in this style recipe? Cheers for the video 🍻

[@BrewBrosUK]

Thanks for watching 🍺 No, I wouldn’t say the wheat is required for this style at all tbh. We’re about to brew a mango version 👌

[@Gydozajkowski]

Do you put the recipes on Brewfather? Looks great and I'm defenitly trying it out!

[@BrewBrosUK]

Hi this one isn’t on Brewfather but the recipe is in the description. Cheers 🍺

Thanks for the video. The sound was horrid, but still informative.
