As our time apart grows, our chance to explore and brew comes alive. We explore not only the brews and news, but the new as White Labs has unleashed a Non-STA1 Saison blend on the world. Drew talks with Kara Taylor, Head of Laboratory Innovation about STA-1, what has people concerned and how best to play with this new yeast blend!
-Dry hopping cold. Very interesting.
-Non-STA1 Saison yeast. I didn’t even know what that meant util now. As a saison lover this could be a game changer.
My current IPA I did the following after reading this article on Scott Janish about cold dry hopping. I cold crashed three days, warmed to 50 degrees, hopped for 2 days and crashed again for 1 then bottled.
So far the results have been great. The aroma and flavors are still bright after almost a month.
But since this is the first data point I will certainly be trying it again.
I crashed to 35 for 3 days, dry hopped for 2 (still at 35), then kegged. Liked the results so well I’m doing the same on another beer right now.
After the podcast I may go colder next time. Thanks
