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.
