Yeast: | Three types of yeast used: Batch 1: Wyeast Belgian Strong Ale The classic choice for brewing golden strong ales. This alcohol tolerant strain will produce a complex ester profile balanced nicely with subtle phenolics. Malt flavors and aromas will remain even with a well attenuated dry, tart finish. This strain is prone to stalling at approximately 1.035; racking or slight aeration will encourage it to finish fermentation. Origin: Flocculation: low Attenuation: 74-78% Temperature Range: 64-80° F (18-27° C) Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 12-13% ABV Batch 2: Giga Yeast Sour Cherry Funk This blend creates an amazing complex, sour beer with fruity cherry esters. Fermenting in the presence of 7-10 IBUs will cause the fermentation to complete much more quickly but will slow the souring — expect to wait 3-4 months for significant souring. Fermenting with zero or less than 5 IBUs will allow souring to happen much faster (within two weeks) but will cause the fermentation to take up to 4 weeks to complete. Recommended Temperature Range: 68 F to 80 F Batch 3: YEAST STRAIN: 3278 | Belgian Lambic Blend 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 Brussels. Propagation of this culture is not recommended and will result in a change of the proportions of the individual components. This blend will produce a very dry beer due to the super-attenuative nature of the mixed cultures. Origin: Flocculation: Variable Attenuation: 70-80% Temperature Range: 63-75° F (17-24° C) Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 11% ABV Styles: Flanders Red Ale Fruit Lambic Gueuze Straight (Unblended) Lambic |
