Where should I look (fret board / picking hand) when playing single notes on guitar?

    You should look wherever you need to in order to play the correct notes.

    And you should practice playing those notes a lot. Your hands and fingers will develop muscle memory and it will get better. Just practice.

    It came out at 1.010 for 2%. Right on target. As promised, I put another 2oz dry hibiscus flower on it as a dry hop.

    Ive got it in the keg, carbonating. But tasting the gravity sample, it seems dry, but with a little body. Sour for sure. I can't wait to taste it with a little carbonation bite too. Smelled a bit like the yeast as the cake got riled up when I carried it upstairs to rack it into the keg.

  • Ok, so I was interested in trying my hand at a sour beer and have also been trying to reduce my alcohol intake. I have been drinking a lot of brewdog's AF beers when at home. I decided to do a kettle sour with hibiscus flowers as the flavoring instead of fruit. I'm doing a minimal berlinerweisse for the malt. I aimed for 5gal (20l) in the fermenter. I used a 110v brewzilla. Here is my bill: - 3lb 2row - 2lbs wheat malt - 16oz good belly mango-flavor probiotic drink - 7ml lactic acid - 3oz dry hibiscus flower in boil (5min) - Safale 05 dry yeast - No hops Steps: - Heat 5gal water to 168°F - Mash in, hold at 168 x 1hr - Drain the grains - cool to 90°F - Add lactic acid to get pH to 4.5 - Add good belly, cover with plastic - Set temp to 85°F and wait - When pH reaches 3.2 - 3.4, bring to boil for 10min - Add hibiscus, boil for 5min - Cool to 80°F, rack to sterilized fermenter, pitch yeast. SG 1.026 Lessons learned: Boiling soured wort in the house makes the house stink. The wife was not impressed. Pitching yeast at higher temps than 100°F kills the yeast. Morebeer takes 4 days to ship a simple packet of yeast from one state to the next. Beer is currently happily fermenting at 65°F. I'm going to float another couple of oz of hibiscus as a "dry hop" in a couple days. I'll attempt to update this post with FG and tasting notes when complete. I hope to end at 1.010. That'll put it around 2%.
