Wyeast Brettamomyces Bruxellen

Wild yeast isolated from brewery cultures in the Brussels region of Belgium.

Produces the classic sweaty horse hair character indigenous to beers of this region: gueuze, lambics, sour browns. Ferments best in worts with lower pH after primary fermentation has begun. This strain is generally used in conjunction with S. cerevisiae as well as other wild yeast and lactic bacteria. Produces some acidity and may form a pellicle in bottles or casks. Generally requires 3-6 months aging for flavor to fully develop.

Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation low. (60-75º F, 15-24° C)

Please note: It is highly recommended that a cold pack be purchased when ordering liquid yeast. High Gravity cannot guarantee the viability of liquid yeast if it fails to work unless it was purchased with a cold pack. You can add it to the order by checking the cold pack box near the bottom of the page before adding the yeast to the cart.
