Jester King Tempranillo Refermentation

Tempranillo Follia is a name I'm throwing out there for JK. The cost? 2 bottles.

 

exciting.

 

As a homebrewer that freaks me out man! All that wild bacteria, fungus, and yeast floating around the floor there! AHHHHHHHHHHH make it stop Jeff, do it for the children.

But damn those wild critters make it taste soooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooood!

 

I can't really remember the last time I wanted to go out and buy a JK beer.

 

Okay. Thanks for sharing. More for me, I guess.

 

You're welcome, and it probably won't be more for you if there's an allotment.

 

This thread went to lulz in a hurry.

 

Technically it could if there is a sign up and one less person saying they want it pushes the allocation/limit up 1 more bottle. Just like a democracy, every vote counts! YOU COULD BE THE SWING VOTE! Just saying...

 

We just posted this update. Sorry for the mistake. - Jeff

UPDATE: We mistakenly referred to the Tempranillo grapes as being from Fredericksburg, TX. This is incorrect. They originated from California. We apologize for the mistake. We purchased them from a Texas winery, which led to the mistake being made. But again, these are Tempranillo grapes from California.

 

Now you have to send some of these beers to California. I'll take them on behalf of the state of California.

 

No one else wants to know how it destems? some of those stems are pretty small, how does this work?

 

Do you know from where in CA? Same for the apricots?

One of the best US wines I've had is from a winery on Treasure Island, SF that buys the grapes from Napa and farther North and then does the rest. Fantastic view of SF from Treasure Island too (without fog).

 

Yea no shit...just looks like it's pulverizing the grapes. How do the stems get seperated from the grapes?

 

different model, but I assume it works in a similar fashion?
not sure though... the one at JK looks a lot different. either way, pretty interesting for sure, thanks!

 

I remember seeing one of those things in my wine appreciation class in college. From what I recall it does a good job of separating the seeds and stems but some still make it through.

 

How does it separate the seeds?
It looks like objects grape-sized or smaller can get through.

 

Like I said I don't really remember I took that class about 3 years ago.

 

JESTER KING's GRAPES OF Pedernales' WRATH (just a guess on what winery yall used) if i'm right can I have some, I'll even pay... I JUST WANT TO TRY SOME WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE 7 HOURS!!!
