New Homebrew Size Features Resealable Cap and Double the Cell Count for Foolproof Fermentation for Small-Scale and Homebrewers
Bringing the innovation of PurePitch Next Generation (PPNG) packaging to home and small-scale professional brewers, White Labs has reimagined its homebrew size yeast to feature a resealable cap, exceptional breathability, double the pitch rate and verifiable quality at a value brewers will love.
From the industry’s first pitchable liquid yeast to a complete revolution in the way it’s propagated and packaged, White Labs brings 27 years of exploration and innovation to its newest creation, PurePitch Next Generation (PPNG) Homebrew, delivering verifiable quality and consistency in easy-to-use packaging specifically for homebrewers.
“Homebrew is where White Labs began, and while we’ve continued to expand our range of products and packages over the last 27 years through our tireless spirit of innovation, we wanted to ensure we were keeping smaller brewers in mind when expanding our PurePitch Next Generation innovations to homebrewers,†says Chris White, founder and CEO of White Labs. “While this product is intended for homebrewers, we put the same rigorous quality standards into every batch, which results in professional quality yeast that can be used by professional and homebrewers alike.â€

Press Release
You Chose Perrin’s Next Beer, & Now You Can Watch Them Brew It!
Comstock Park, Mich. (December 2, 2020) Over the past few weeks, voters have determined the style and ingredients of Perrin’s next beer release through the second ever Interactive Brew project. Beer lovers are invited to view a special livestream event on December 3 at 10 a.m. EST to watch Perrin’s brewing team craft this special, crowd-sourced brew. Homebrewers can follow along at home with materials provided by Perrin.
The Interactive Brew 2.0 project kicked off on November 13 and allowed the craft beer community to weigh in on aspects of Perrin’s next brew, including style and sub-style, flavor elements and the name of the beer. According to the results, Perrin’s next beer will be a Stout with chocolate, caramel and coconut. The project follows the initial Interactive Brew, which took place earlier this year, resulting in Self S’More-antine, a Russian Imperial Stout.
The name of the beer is still being determined, so click here to pick your favorite on or before Friday, December 4.
Visit Youtube here or tune into Perrin’s facebook page for the behind-the-scenes livestream event at 10 a.m. EST on December 3. Viewers are encouraged to come prepared with questions for Perrin’s brewers. Homebrewers can find detailed brewing instructions and a printable recipe here. Stay tuned for beer release information coming soon.

What Is the Solera Brewing Method?
Imagine barrels of beer, stacked as far as the eye can see, row upon row of wooden casks tenderly nurturing their contents as they age over years. It’s a lovely image, isn’t it? Now imagine that–every once in a while–your friendly neighborhood brewer cracks open the eldest barrels of their generation, drains portions of their liquid bounties, and then tops them off with beer from the adolescents of the bunch. The drained beer is bottled. The elder barrels get a shot of youthful vigor in the arm. The adolescent barrels get a top off from the older barrels. The brewer’s thirsty patrons top off their glasses. The circle of barrel-aging beer life continues. Everybody’s happy.

Link: Brut IPA: The Best New Thing in Beer or Passing Fad?
via October:
“Clean, bright and modern.†That’s how Samantha Lee, co-founder of the Hopewell Brewing Company in Chicago, describes her brewery’s ethos, from the balance of its beers to the airy, inviting taproom. It’s also an apt description of Brut IPA, the latest phenomenon in American craft brewing’s seemingly never-ending love affair with the India Pale Ale.
Barely a year ago, Brut IPA began as a process innovation in a San Francisco brewpub. Kim Sturdavant of Social Kitchen and Brewery took a brewer’s enzyme called amyloglucosidase—an amylase enzyme typically used either for producing light beer or for lightening the body of big, viscous stouts—and added it to the recipe of a typical 7% ABV IPA. The process produced something new in itself: An IPA with zero residual sugar, restrained bitterness, lively carbonation and unparalleled drinkability. He called it the Champagne IPA, then later: Brut IPA.
