Wild Specialty Beer, Lambic, Gueuze, Flanders Red Ale
Belgian Lambic Blend Wyeast
WY3278
Species : Ale Fermentation Temp Range (F) : 63-75 Apparent Attenuation Range (%) : 70-80 Flocculation : Variable Alcohol Tolerance : 11%
Pitching/Fermentation : This blend will produce a very dry beer due to the super-attenuative nature of the mixed cultures.
Notes : This blend contains yeast and bacteria cultures important to the production of spontaneously fermented beers of the Lambic region. Specific proportions of a Belgian style ale strain, a sherry strain, two Brettanomyces strains, a Lactobacillus culture, and a Pediococcus culture produce the desirable flavor components of these beers as they are brewed in West Flanders. Propagation of this culture is not recommended and will result in a change of the proportions of the individual components.
