Neill and Ross: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:27, 25 January 2015

Overview

Neill and Ross was a collaborative effort between Alan Ross and Olly Neill that produced one lambic (Shot in the Dark) from a Girardin base. This project was retired after Alan moved out of Ireland.

Shot in the Dark

Shot in the Dark was produced with 10-month old Girardin Jonge Lambiek that was brewed in 2010 with 60 kilograms of locally-grown blackberries added. The lambic and fruit were added to a freshly emptied, uncleaned Bordeaux barrel and Shot in the Dark was bottled three months later. The lambic still contained just enough sugar to not require a blend.

Approximately fifty 75cl bottles were sold commercially.

-Alan David Ross - Excellent!!! I'm glad there are still some out there. I like the idea of someone opening a dusty bottle in 20 years time. It's holding up very well but the lambic inside is still relatively young. The lambic was brewed in 2010.

-Alan David Ross - It was a single blend of 10 month old lambic. It was a different way to do it and rather like how the old cafes used to do it. The lambic still contained just enough sugar to not require a blend. Yes blackberries were added and it was barrel aged in a freshly emptied Bordeaux barrel. I did not clean the barrel as it was so fresh. The blend with the fruit took place at 10 months and it was bottled by 13 months without the use of adding sugar or young lambic. I just studied the fermentation without a hydrometer and judged by taste and fermentation activity when to bottle.
