21st Zoigl-Wort Share
WEST COAST IPA WORT
Friday, March 8, 2024  |  4pm-7pm

The Zoiglhaus Wort Share is back on track for 2024.  After the Northern German-Style Pilsner from last summer, it is time to get into it with a West Coast IPA wort..

We ferment ours with the Flagship strain, but you should feel free to experiment with your yeast selections.  Go traditional and ferment with Flagship, or go another direction with various American, Belgian, English, or German ale or even lager strains, throwing in extra dry hops, candi sugars, fruits, or whatever else comes to your wickedly creative mind.  This would make a great Cold IPA or Hoppy Pilsner with the addition of your choices of aroma hops.

As usual, bring your carboy and airlock to the brewery and we’ll set you up with a 5 gallon batch of wort and your choice of yeast to pitch.
