I brewed Humdinger of a Hootenanny (Batch 345) the weekend before Learn to Homebrew Day. I obviously had to have something to brew on the first Saturday of November (today if you're reading this the day it publishes)
About the time I discovered that I Lied about the 2021 BCJP Categories ... I came across some Wildbrew Philly Sour yeast in my favorite local homebrew shop.
That yeast has been sitting in my fridge since then, and I always had expected I'd use it to brew a Category 28. American Wild Ale with it.
I decided that Learn to Homebrew Day would be the day. It was on my Roll-a-Style list ... so ...
I pretended to roll the Online 20 sided die and pretended that I rolled ... 13
13 corresponds to 28C. Wild Specialty Beer, a pretty wide-open style.
An American Wild Ale with fruit, herbs, spices, or other Specialty-Type Ingredients.
I decided to go with a simple base beer with mango fruit. The "Wild" character would come from the Wildbrew Philly Sour yeast.

Again ... I'll be brewing it this afternoon. With some of my home-brew friends.
Stay tuned on this blog ... I'm sure I'll post about brew day.
