Notes from Brad, Northern Brewer Head Brewer:

“This recipe is a perfectly timed combination of two brand new products, and they could not go together any better. Cosmic Punch™, a revolutionary new yeast strain from Omega Yeast takes biotransformation to a new level, while Hopsteiner’s Trident™ hop blend offers all the fodder for Cosmic Punch™ to do its thing. Trident™ is already a potent combination of tropical fruit and citrus flavors, and Cosmic Punch™ amplifies these characteristics by transforming hop compounds into new flavors and aromas not present in the hops, to begin with. Expect a wide array of fruit flavors and aromas spanning the gamut from citrus to red berries to guava, passionfruit, and lychee. Utilizing Cascade for moderate bitterness lays the groundwork for the combination of Cosmic Punch™ and Trident™ to ascend to insane levels of flavor. Two separate whirlpool additions and two separate dry-hopping additions ensure that there are sufficient hop oils in the wort for the yeast to work with, and the dry hopping (especially during active fermentation) adds more layers of intense fruit aromas. Treat this yeast like you would any normal fermentation, after all, it is merely a modified version of Omega Yeast’s British Ale V.”
