Brettanomyces Claussenii was originally isolated at the New Carlsburg brewery by Niels Claussen, the biochemist who was investigating spoilage in English stock ale. His discovery paved the way for the controlled usage of brett in beer production. His namesake brett strain is considered mild compared to other brett strains, having very light funky characteristics. Pineapple flavors and aromas are common, and some brewers also have described a light cherry note in finished beers. Brett Claussenii can be used as either a primary or secondary strain. Because it was isolated from English stock ale, it is often used in English styles, such as IPAs, bitters, browns and porters. If you are just getting into making brett beers, Claussenii is a great strain choice!

ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
