Wyeast 3278 Belgian Lambic Blend Yeast

Wyeast 3278 Lambic Blend is a combination of Belgian style ale yeast, sherry yeast, two Brettanomyces strains, and two lactic acid bacteria strains for producing lambic-style ale. 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. Apparent attenuation: 70-80%. Flocculation: Variable. Optimum temp: 63°-75° F
