Pew! Pew! Wild Ale

Turbid mash with rests at 113°F (45°C) for 10 minutes, 136°F (58°C) for 5 minutes, 149°F (65°C) for 35 minutes, 162°F (72°C) for 20 minutes, and 170°F (77°C) for 10 minutes. Use hot water infusions to reach the first two rests; use turbid mash decoctions to achieve the remaining temperature changes. Boil 180 minutes.

The finished beer was a blend of three different batches, each of which was fermented with distinct cultures stepped up from wild commercial beers. Beer was then blended to taste and aged on 2 oz. of dried black limes (lightly crushed) into a total blended volume of 5 gal. (18.9 L).
