Wyeast 5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus

Average Rating

This is a wild yeast strain isolated from Belgian lambic beers. It produces a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness along with distinct Brett character. A pellicle may form in bottles or casks. To produce the classic Belgian character, this strain works best in conjunction with other yeast and lactic bacteria. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics. Origin: Flocculation: MediumAttenuation: Very highTemperature Range: 60-75 F (15-24 C)Alcohol Tolerance: ~12% ABV
