Don\u2019t worry, we are not going to show you our holiday videos, but we are going to tell you about one of the latest, and most interesting, project we are working on here at Birra del Borgo:<strong>\u00a0the hunt for the yeast!<\/strong><span id=\"more-54\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Beer lovers and beer experts always talk about<strong>\u00a0hops and malts<\/strong>\u00a0as if they were the biggest issue (maybe even more that the World Cup soccer team!) but they often forget the real \u201ckey ingredient\u201d for craft beer \u2013 the real head brewer, as Leo states in the video:<strong>\u00a0yeast.<\/strong><br \/>\nAs we could already verify choosing the right yeast for our\u00a0<a title=\"Maledetta\" href=\"https:\/\/birradelborgo.it\/en\/birre\/scheda\/16\/maledetta\">Maledetta<\/a>, differents yeast give birth to completely different beers. So, it had been a while that Leonardo was thinking about it:\u00a0<strong>finding a \u201clocal yeast\u201d<\/strong>, typical of this precise area, and hale enough to ferment the worth, helping us to make our beers even more unique and \u201ctypical\u201d.<br \/>\nSo Leonardo, Andrea and David prepared the \u201ctraps\u201d with liquid or gelified media to seize the yeasts carried along by wind and animals. Then they positioned them up on the trees or on the grass in the windiest areas, also thanks to the collaboration of the\u00a0<strong>Duchess\u2019 Mountains Natural Reserve\u2019s Rangers<\/strong>\u00a0guided by Michele Luce.<br \/>\n24 hours later they went to retrieve the traps; since then, David has been working in his lboratory to find the most interesting and active yeast. Actually<strong>\u00a0savage yeasts<\/strong>\u00a0need a \u201csettling phase\u201d to merge with malts through several fermentations, so that they can smooth their sharpest aspects and develop the right features to be used in brewing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur\u201d yeast are mainly at their third fermenting generation: we need a little bit of patience, and some more fermenting process, and then we should be able to<strong>\u00a0shortlist the right ones.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe will keep you updated about it\u2026 and most of all we will tell you when there will be\u00a0<strong>something to open and drink!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>watch the video:\u00a0The hunt for the yeast<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/birradelborgo.it\/blog_en\/uncategorized\/54\/the-hunt-for-the-yeast\/attachment\/cimg1310\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-56\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/birradelborgo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/CIMG1310-260x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"195\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leo, David and Michele Luce<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_57\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">setting the traps<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p> <!--codes_iframe--><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right now the\u00a0Duchess\u2019 Mountains\u00a0\u2013 overlooking Borgorose and Valle del Salto \u2013 are all white, covered with snow.
