So, you're looking to brew a [[Gose]] (Gose-uh)? A [[Gose]] has become a favorite first time tart beer to brew. The dominant flavors in [[Gose]] include a lemon tartness, a herbal characteristic from coriander, and saltiness (the result of either local water sources or added salt). [[Gose]] beers typically do not have prominent hop bitterness, flavors, or aroma. The beers typically have a moderate alcohol content of 4 to 5% ABV.

Quick Q&A
Question Title
Q: Question?
A: Answer
How long does a pellicle take to form
Q: How long does a pellicle take to form?
A: There are many variables and there is no one. It's all about the yeast and bacteria involved, o2 exposure, and time. Depending on all this, you may also never see a pellicle form.
Why did my lacto beer did not sour
Q: My lactobacillus based beer did not turn out sour or even the least bit tart. Why?
A: The biggest factor leading to lack of souring while using lacto is due to the amount of hops in your recipe. Even as much as 2-3 ibu's will inhibit lactic acid production. Try brewing or kettle souring with no hops.
