We haven't done any experiments with whirlpool/rest temperatures. Our set-up prohibits us from cooling wort while it's still in the kettle. If we were making IPAs, it may be worthwhile to invest time and equipment to achieve maximum hop flavor, but our core focus is on yeast character. For some of our hop-forward beers, most of the significant hop contributions are in the fermentation tanks.

Will Del Ray make it stateside? I would rather buy a ton here than try to catch it on Etre.


Also, I know you said you'd be more secretive in the blog post, but can you give some hint on how you added the mushrooms to the beer? I've been want to do this for a while. But I not sure how to really tackle it.

Shelton Brothers will be importing some Fantome/Jester King Del Rey stateside. I'm not sure of quantities or distribution but it will be in the states. The ingredient we brought to Fantome was put in the kettle right at the end of the boil!

ElkSherpa What Malters do you guys use and how did you pick them?

ElkSherpa What Malters do you guys use and how did you pick them?

I'm a big fan of Weyermann for Pils, Wheat, and Munich. Lately, we've been using mostly malted barley and wheat from a local maltster, Blacklands Malt, http://www.blacklandsmalt.com/. Typically we pick Weyermann or Blacklands for pale recipes, or base malt. We've used Simpson's for specialty malts with great success.

ElkSherpa It's slightly off-topic but this is an AMA:
1) What's your favorite dish involving bacon?
2) What's one aspect of Texan BBQ that us northerners will never be able to master?

 

[jeblikesbeer]

ElkSherpa will there ever be more of that tasty watermelon goodness? Or ambrée? Two of the best 750's I've had from you guys

 

[beer30jax]

Can you give any details about the collab beer with Dany called Del Rey?

Now I see where you get your info from!

Disregard the whole "email me if you get it" lets work out a trade instead? Cheers!

A little birdy told me (okay, Kristen England's twitter feed) that y'all brewed a new batch of a Bonnie the Rare this week. Any changes to the recipe? I remember Jeff telling me the first round took almost a year to ferment/bottle condition.

1.) Bacon is my favorite dish involving bacon
2.) Meat sweats, also known as brisket hangover, aka too much beer and bbq in the hot sun.

There will be more Dichotomous in the future, but the ingredients will probably change. Ambree is on the schedule to be brewed relatively soon!

Not any huge changes, other than a few tweaks in production technique. We went the no-boil route, and pitched our mixed culture.

Will you be out in LA for the Shelton Festival?

 

[beer30jax]

Since this is an ask me anything...

I was planning a visit to Austin end of October to visit my sister and also go to the Formula 1 Race. However, that is the same weekend is the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party/ Florida v Georgia football game in Jacksonville. Being from Texas I have to assume you have some affinity for college football. Which should I do?

I would come to Austin, and have a beer out here at the brewery! I am a born and raised Texan, but I grew up on a skateboard and don't know much about football! The team I root for is the Bones Brigade and my favorite player is Animal Chin.

F1 ftw. I've been both years & it's a blast. JK is not too far either so can easily fit in a trip after a day at the track. Maybe some Salt Lick on the way home & you're good to go.

I watched the documentary a few months ago. Rodney Mullen is pretty much one of my absolute hero's. Also, Ray Barbee and Mark Gonzalez had a sincere, inadvertent influence on me and a pretty significant role in where I am today....Zig when you're expected to zag.

Will we ever see the Jester King beer horns that were rumored a while back? Everyone goes crazy for tekus, but I just want to complete my outfit for "barbarian week" at the Texas ren fest

This is the first I've heard of these, so I don't imagine we'll be making them any time soon. Half skulls however...(just kidding).

Now that they're doing glassware for special releases, this would go perfect with a future Viking Metal release

Was never a skateboarder, but a buddy showed this to me at work. Turned into a bunch of rocket scientist huddled around a monitor getting inspired by an awesome skater. Was an motivating/inspiring and unexpected turn of events. Definitely some Zig when I was expecting to zag.

Great stuff. Mullens also has some other Ted talks. Inspiring man for sure.

ElkSherpa your Aussie distro just said you'll be out to Melbourne next May. Wanna hang out and eat Vietnamese food?

If that's too weird, at least spare half an hour to come on our podcast. I'm guessing your distro will have your time scheduled pretty hard but they've helped us out in the past and we would really love to get you on.

Either way, it'll be great to have you in our fine city.

This is news to me, but Australia sounds nice! Who wants to take me surfing?

Someone is...

Whomever it is, I can't take em surfing but the offer of Viet food and podcasting stands. The Viet food in my hood is crazy good. Way better than the surfing in my hood which is non-existant.
