(Nashville, TN) – Recent updates from the Yazoo Brewing blog…
“For this batch, put together by Colin, we used:
First wort hopped with Magnum and Amarillo, then Amarillo, Cascade, and Nugget at 45 min and then at 30 min, then Amarillo, Cascade, and Citra at 15 min, 10 min, and 5 min, and finally dry hopped with Cascade and Citra after four days in the fermenter.
This twist on this Hop Project was more additions throughout the boil, instead of our standard three boil additions. I suspect that Colin really enjoyed watching Ken and Quinn having to walk back and forth all day measuring out hops, while he was running the bottling line.
It’s notched as being bottled on the 4th week of September.”
“It’s back! Our annual Hop Project made with fresh wet hops, straight off the vine and shipped by Fed Ex from Yakima, WA, to our brewery door. This year we featured a rare variety, a Japanese-origin hop called Sorachi Ace. To our knowledge, we are the only brewery to ever use this hop in a fresh hop beer. I’m not going to spoil anyone’s experience by telling you what I think – you’ll have to try it for yourself! I do think it turned out pretty amazing.
Bottled the 4th week of October.”
