Wyeast 3278 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 NOTE: During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.
