Jester King Craft Brewery

I'm thrilled to hear this. I kept a bottle of February 2012 Farmhouse Black Metal, just in case. May move it into the fridge soon.

 

I have 1 2011 Farmhouse BM left. And lots of the OG.

 

That was purely a yeast harvesting experiment. We're actually about to incorporate some of the yeast from these flowers we picked at Jester King into our fermentations.

Could you tell what type of characteristics the yeast were providing at this point? Are they being used for current production beers or are they going to be used for an upcoming beer?

 

Jeff,

This is a strange request, but do you guys still have strains of the OG Black Metal yeast available? For some reason I seem to recall that you guys were giving out this yeast so that people could create clones. I would love to use it for my oatmeal stout I am planning on brewing soon!

Thanks Again!

 

If memory serves, it had more to do with the laws not passing that year. My how things have changed though.

Edit: looks like you were right. http://blog.chron.com/beertx/2011/07/freetail-brewpub-suspends-expansion-to-houston/

 

My guess is that it was this yeast

That's correct. WLP007 was the strain.

 

We could. They're being used for an upcoming production beer. Sorry to be a little vague at this point, but things are still very experimental.

Very mysterious! I like.

 

Thanks Jeff, you are what we call in spanish "La Bomba"

 

Anyone going to Jester King this Saturday? I'm interested to try the new setup out. I want a bottle of Ol Oi to drink by myself as well. Not gonna share with my girlfriend lol.

 

On a completely different side not Jeff, have you guys ever considered making a pumpkin beer? I would love to see you guys' interpretation of this style!

Sorry completely different side not as pumpkin beer season is quickly approaching!

 

And the dark shroud of secrecy falls over the land of Jester King once again..........

 

Ol oi is the shit.

 

Any non brewery releases planned soon? Like uberkind or Funk or RU55 or Bonnie?

 

....a sour pumpkin beer?

 

Now that scares me... sour punkins. . ummm.

 

I could dig it if it was more gourdy and less spicy. And not insanely sour.
