Hi All,
I was in the supermarket last night and picked up a bottle of Ninkasi Brewery's new limited release, Hop Cooler, a citrus IPA. The bottle had what can only be described as a metric ton of yeast on the bottom.
Anyone know what kind of yeast Ninkasi uses and if it'd be worth getting another bottle and trying to harvest it? Do they use one of those special house yeasts which you can't get commercially and brewing with it would take my beer to new and unimaginable heights, as well as make me more attractive to the opposite sex? Or would I be going through a lot of trouble to simply harvest something I could buy at my LHBS?
And my official review of the beer: meh.
Thanks!
