Description:
This Cyclone was a new lesson in microbiology as it required us to ‘prop up’ a new Belgian Wit yeast strain for it. ‘Propping up’ is the process of making one small batch (4 gallons) of beer, and then taking advantage of the yeast cell’s exponential growth characteristics, using the organism again in larger and larger batches. The time frame from the first tiny batch until the 2500 gallon batch was almost 1.5 months—under very close monitoring and sterile conditions. Using a high percentage of wheat malt this beer arrives full on the front of the palate. When “Frank” was boiling in our kettle we tossed in pounds and pounds of lemon peel, sweet orange peel, kaffir lime leaves, and freshly ground coriander. Further, he was unfiltered and partially bottle-conditioned. A certain treat for Belgian Wit lovers!
