Sours, anyone? White Labs has just the right blend that you need to make excellent Belgian sour beers every time! This blend combines both brettanomyces and saccharomyces yeast strains with lactobacillus and pediococcus bacteria strains. This is a blend that works perfectly for brewers looking to mimic spontaneous fermenting conditions found in and around the trappist breweries of Belgium. Brewers who have used this strain report a beer that is not overly sour and still retains Belgian characteristics. Because it has a saccharomyces strain, it can be used as a primary strain for fermentation. However, many brewers will ferment with a primary strain separately, then pitch this blend in the secondary. Either way, this yeast blend is a great choice!
Product Features

- Mixes yeast and bacteria strains to mimic the conditions found in and around trappist breweries in Belgium.

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!

Every strain has 38 quality check points, ensuring the highest quality yeast for your beer. A QR code on each package directs you all the necessary information about the yeast, including a quality report of every lot, strain specific information, data and recipes, as well as a custom online pitch rate calculator. White Labs strains are propagated in their patented FlexCell technology process, and the PurePitch Next Generation packs have a proprietary film designed specifically for White Labs that allows for one way of-gassing to promote yeast health and viability.
