Make Ghost Great Again
quote:
In the end, meaning today, we have decided that we are done trying to fight our house yeast. We simply cannot rely on it to yield a consistently cloudy (or clear) IPA. There are lots of other yeasts out there that we don't have to fight their flocculation tendencies. Enter Bloom, a new IPA. We wanted to give a cloudy yeast we love a shot at making an IPA in our brewery. We knew the beer would be cloudy and hopefully more fruity and juicy. The result was exactly what we expected. So in addition to making a delicious new IPA, we have also found a yeast that we want to try in our other hoppy beers, Ghost, Opus Vert, and Envie. The first batch of a beer with this new yeast will be an Envie batch that was brewed Dec 2, last week. You'll probably see it in the market within a few weeks, probably with a bottled date of roughly 12/19 to 12/22. Also we are brewing a new batch of Opus Vert with this new yeast this week on 12/8. It will be ready and bottled around the new year. Next batch of Ghost, to be release in Jan. will also use this new yeast. If and when you find these batches, please let us know what you think. If the beers suck, we will revert back to what we were doing and try to find another path forward. If the beers instead make you say "wow," then we will proceed and brew more of them.

another incredible marketing strategy making GITM demand incredibly high... that said, I will be on a mission to find some when it gets released.
I drink Envie all the time

I was just commenting yesterday that the 11/28 batch of envie was off compared to previous batches. I thought it was due to a new yeast, however, i was wrong.
Glad to know they are trying something new to be consistent and they are aware and active in improving their beers. Love this brewery.

I assume Opus and Bloom have different hops?

Posts like this make me happy I don't have a palate that is discerning enough to be able to tell the difference in batches unless they are side by side. 
They made their own? I've often wondered why their batches are not consistent.
yuck.

A lot of breweries have a house yeast. Unless I am mistaken, and parish was doing something different

We have an issue with our hoppy beers where some batches are the most amazing things since sliced bread and then the very next batch may be a dud. A delicious, well made dud, but still a dud by our high standards
If you make a product that doesn't meet your high standards and then you sell it as a product that supposedly meets your high standards, then you didn't have high standards at that time. Nothing wrong with saying you want to raise your future standards, which I think is what they meant, but they worded it incorrectly. That's me being picky with their language. Glad they are taking steps to create a more consistent product. I like how candid the post was.

Gotcha. By different, you mean something that would make consistency more difficult?

No, they were not doing anything different. They started with a yeast, and kept the yeast "in house" by continually growing it up from the dregs at the bottom of the tank.
The problem is that yeast does evolve and will change. Their yeast that they started with began to change.
Instead of starting over with the same yeast from the source, they are just changing the yeast altogether to a yeast that more naturally produces cloudy beers.
