Black Bull Turbo Yeast and Scotch Ales
Black Bull Turbo Yeast is an alcohol-producing yeast designed specifically for making Kool-Aid style drinks, fruit schnapps and base alcohol quickly and cost effectively. Fermentations reach 18% within five days and it has excellent temperature tolerance properties.
Scotch ale or wee heavy is an intense and full-bodied beer style, boasting notes of dark dried fruits, caramel, toffee and sherry. A perfect winter drink that pairs beautifully with both savory and sweet foods alike; especially great with braised or roast meats as well as root veggies; cheesecake can bring out its sweet flavors as well.
Peat flavor/aroma isn’t typical to this beer style and usually derives its character solely from malt. Brewers employ pale, crystal, and chocolate malt along with sugar from wheat or corn as ingredients to produce this style of beer. When creating it at home it must be fermented at lower than usual temperatures to preserve its rich malty flavors and sweetness.
Black Tuesday Stout (Imperial/Double, 19.4%). Created during what was likely our worst brew day ever at The Bruery, Black Tuesday has evolved into one of our most decadent beers. After 16 hours of brewing time with overflowing mash tanks and burns from hot water sources, this Imperial Stout spent 12 months maturing in Bourbon Barrels before emerging as an exquisite, complex and decadent Ale.
