Q2 PRIVATE COLLECTION: WILD RUSTIC SPRING

Q2 PRIVATE COLLECTION: WILD RUSTIC SPRING

SPRING 2019 | AVAILABLE APRIL – JUNE

This year, Wild Rustic Spring offers a selection characteristic of Belgian and sour styles to pair with the new season. Historically epitomized by the beers of Europe, these yeast and bacteria strains have now been skillfully harnessed by homebrewers and brewmasters from our Private Culture Collection. Saisons, lambic styles, goses, Brett beers, and more are now world-class, world-wide. No matter the direction you take these wild rustic cultures, they will become your new tradition.

These strains are available to all retail customers for a limited time. Commercial customers are encouraged to order these strains during this quarter for shorter lead times! Find out more about which styles pair best with these strains at www.wyeastlab.com.

3031-PC Saison-Brett Blend
Beer Styles: Saison, Brett Beer, Mixed-Fermentation, Sour Beer, Wild Specialty Beer, Belgian Golden Strong Ale

This strain is excellent for remixing the profile in a Lambic-style or Flanders Red Ale, or for kettle souring wort for a balanced Berliner Weisse.

Apparent Attenuation: 80%
