A true strain of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis! "Vrai" is the French word for "true," a word perfect for describing this strain of brett (as opposed to the White Labs WLP644 Saccharomyces "bruxellensis" Trois strain, a saccharomyces strain that is brett-like.) It can be used to make true all-brett fermented beers. This strain works wonderfully as a primary strain to ferment worts, giving off fruity notes of pear that come through in the finished product. It can give beers a wonderful complexity and robustness. While this is perfect for use as a primary strain, it can also be used as a secondary strain after primary fermentation with a saccharomyces strain of yeast.

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!
