The Zymatore Project is our endeavor to create liquids of unheard flavors and aromas that destroy the boundaries of beer, wine, mead, cider & spirits through barrel aging and blending.
Using barrels of the highest quality and pedigree from acknowledged leaders in the wine & distillation crafts we take beers, meads & ciders to new and unexplored levels.
What may seem like unlikely combinations of liquids & barrels are designed to create new flavors & aromas that transcend conventional definitions.
The first ingredient of all of our Zymatore blends are our world class beers & meads from all around the world! We work directly with the cooperation of our breweries from around the world. All of the beers & meads that are used in the Zymatore project were used with the permissions of the breweries involved.
One of the most important ingredients of all is time! While combining fantastic ingredients is a very important part of the process, patience and allowing the products enough time to develop is just as important. It is extremely easy to be tempted to take a product out of the barrel before it has reached a fantastic level of complexity. This is due to a number of reasons: (1) Giving up to early on the development cycle of the product & (2) Being worried that the product has achieved it’s highest level and will now develop in an out of balance and worse character. One of the most interesting aspects that we have learned so far is that flavor development is very sporadic. For weeks or even months very little will happen and then over a period of 2 – 3 weeks flavor will start to change dramatically, only to once again slow down.
All Zymatore beers will have a final fermentation in keg, cask or bottle conditioning. We accomplish this by pitching yeast and increasing the residual sugar in the beer with the addition of sugar, syrup or wort. After the beer is packaged it will mature in our warm room for 2-3 weeks at 68-77 F depending on the product. During this period the yeast will consume the residual sugar creating CO2 and the desired level of carbonation. This final fermentation will also add additional flavors from the yeast.
Currently we are releasing Zymatore products in kegs, casks & occasionally bottles.
An ever changing experience and experiment, no two batches will ever be the same.
