F08

An exclusive funky blend containing a low attenuating Belgian saison yeast, Lacto, and three Brett yeast strains.

This blend is great for emulating lambics, Flanders reds, sour farmhouse ales and any other brew you would like to funk up. Keep your IBU's under 3 to allow the lacto to work. Considering the components of this blend, allow for a long conditioning period of at least 6 months to really let the brett strains to shine. This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Diastaticus. This yeast strain is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). • Special order strain orders available to schedule with a 10L minimum and a 2-3 week lead time •

Mixed culture fermentations are magical. Brewers often mix yeast strains with brett and lacto to create a beverage that is at once funky and tart, subtle and satisfying. These beers are often wood aged and complex, bringing to the table flavors and aromas that create a drinking experience not to be forgotten.
