Barrel Fermentation w/ Orange Peels

Friday Brewmaster's Pin offering an exclusive preview of VBC's upcoming Barrel Fermentation Project!

Barrel Fermentation Project:
This Saison blend is the result of an exclusively rustic primary fermentation - skipping the stainless steel vessels in favor of fermentation directly in red & white wine oak barrels.

Upon transfer from the kettle, four known yeast strains were added directly to these wine barrels: a traditional Saison; a "wild" Belgian strain of Saccharomyces; and two strains of Brettanomyces (one Belgian + one Virginian).

Dry and fruity with pleasing citrus aromas. These notes complement the fruity funkiness contributed by Brett and the residual oak smoothness from time spent fermenting in wine barrels.

Cask Addition: Orange peels.
