Isolating Wild Yeast Strains
Back in August of 2016, I collected 12 samples from the Yorholo farmstead. The samples consisted of elderberries, raspberries, corn, pine sap, flowers, etc. Each sample was then added to 10 mL of a low gravity wort & allowed to age inside of a small mason jar with a lid. After 6 months, I tasted & took notes on each sample. Looking for flocculation properties, carbonation, acidity, etc. 3 samples had distinct bad flavors & were discarded. The other 9 samples were added


Mountaineer I.P.A. - batch #7-444-18
The base for this I.P.A. is mainly English Golden Promise with some oats. Although it's one of the most expensive base grains, I always recommend using the best possible grain you can afford for brewing a solid I.P.A. Hopped mainly with zythos ,but with a small dose of chinook. Dry hopped with old faithful cascade. abv - 7.2% Notes of honeysuckle, pine, pineapple, peach & mandarin orange
