Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Fermentation Time Lapse

Thank the gods! :-) Great video. I still have some Bigfoot from last year and somehow some stores in town still have it stocked for like $8.99-$9.99 a 4 pack.

 

Was able to get a keg of 2013 recently. Can't wait to tap this soon and hopefully do a side by side with this year's.

 

BM me your address and I'll see you within 24 hours. haha

 

Love that video, makes we want a Bigfoot for breakfast. we maybe lunch...

classic video , even after a few years. I never tried of watching it and I love the music, lol.

 

Haha it's actually at the restaurant in which I work/am the beer buyer. Will let you know when we tap it

 

Awesome music also

 

Boy was I stoked to stumble across some 2014 Bigfoot while out shopping yesterday! Do I like SN? Hmm, well my fridge currently has 2013 and 2014 Bigfoot, Celebration, Narwhal, Ruthless Rye, and a 2013 BA Bigfoot in it... So, ummm yes!

 

2014 Bigfoot?
I guess ill start keeping my eyes peeled.

Which restaurant? Would like to drop in when you tap

 

Total Wine here in Fort Myers is clearing out the 2013 batch at $3.99 a 4-pack. Score!

 

Seems like there would be a chance of infection with those giant open tanks? I'm guessing the krausen keeps any bugs out? Whatever, I'm sure SN has there shit on lock...super clean room.

 

Clean room supplied with filtered air. It is done often, and some yeast strains seem to benefit from open fermentations, German wheat beers come to mind. A big pitch of the brewers yeast will quickly protect the beer.

I have seen open fermenters at SN, Anchor, New Glarus, Bells (the old Strohs fermenters), Young's, and many small breweries/brewpubs.

 

Though this was pretty cool.

A batch of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine bubbles and froths in this time-lapse video produced by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.

The time-lapse was taken over six days showing 12,400 gallons of wort, 1,215 pounds of whole-cone hops, and 1,000 pounds of brewer's yeast in four open-top fermenters.
