How Sour Wheat Beer Is Made | Container Brewing (3x19)

Air date: May 21, 2021

In the mood for a Berliner Weisse? Well you're in luck, in this video I visit the head brewer at Container Brewing in Vancouver, British Columbia to make a Berliner Weisse (ish) beer. It's a sour wheat beer which features the unique ingredients of bitter orange peel, coriander seeds, and blueberry blossom honey. This sour wheat beer is soured using lactic acid and lactobacillus bacteria and is Dave's own crazy beer recipe.Dave came up with this recipe near the start of the covid shutdowns, and fittingly named it ‘Be Right Back’. This video features some new brewing terminology, so if you are unfamiliar with brewing terms such as vorlauf or the grist hopper, you might want to watch the “Brewing Dad’s Lager Beer” video first In this new beer series I'm visiting my old brewing classmates, who are now working as brewers in various breweries in BC. So let me take you on a Canadian beer production tour. =)
