FerMENTORS Series: Black Project

This culture is a rare mix of microbes sourced from the Denver brewery’s coolship and wild yeast living on Colorado-grown Riesling grape skins used for beer production.

Expect a short, clean-tasting initial phase, with Brett funk and acid developing over multiple months.

Black Project Spontaneous Ales  Culture is ideal for a wide range of Belgian and farmhouse ale styles like grisettes, saisons and American wild ales.
