Product Category: Dusty Bottoms Collection™
The Dusty Bottoms Collection™ is our ode to unique and hard to find cultures sourced from commercial fermentations. As much as we love local yeast, there are just some flavors and aromas that can’t be reproduced by plucking yeast out of thin air.
Many of these cultures have been used for generations to make some of the most consistently wonderful beverages in the world. Whether it’s brewer’s yeast, Brettanomyces, or Lactobacillus…these aren’t Local Yeast by our definition, but certainly were local at one time.

A great strain of yeast I used for a New England IPA I brewed 10/2/2018. The OG was 1.064, but this strain had no problems finishing that out in about 4.5 days! I created a 1.25 L starter and pitched at 65 and let it rise towards 70 at the end of fermentation. Judiciously hopped with a Citra, Simcoe & Mosaic, this beer became (by the mouth of my friends who drank it) the *best* beer I’ve ever made. I’ll continue to use this for my hazy IPA needs! Well done, Bootleg!

Made a NEIPA with this that started at 1.077 using pilsner, 2 row, Golden Naked oats, and some corn sugar. Finished at 1.008 and was hopped with Columbus, Cascade, Citra, Mosaic, and Ella. Total fruit bomb on the tongue and it smelled like tropical Juicy Fruit gum. Everyone loved it! Definite go to yeast for a NEIPA.
