And so what was like your idea of like to create something that would be signature for Sawstone Brewery?
9:14
So that's with that wild fermentation.
9:17
We do a lot of controlled fermentations, mostly controlled fermentations, but there's a wild side to brewing where you can capture yeast and inoculate barrels.
9:27
We often use whiskey barrels or whatever, wine barrels, whatever we can get our hands on.
9:32
And so that was a dream of mine getting started is to kind of have a barrel program.
9:36
It's super small.
9:37
It's still kind of going.
