Wyeast WY5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus

Details

The quintessential "Brett" strain used for the production of Lambic and other beers.

This is a wild yeast strain isolated from Belgian lambic beers. It produces a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness along with distinct “Brett” character. A pellicle may form in bottles or casks. To produce the classic Belgian character, this strain works best in conjunction with other yeast and lactic bacteria. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics.

Styles:

  • Berliner Weisse
  • Flanders Red Ale
  • Fruit Lambic
  • Gueuze
  • Straight (Unblended) Lambic

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.
