Wyeast 3763 Roeselare Ale Blend Liquid Yeast 125 mL

Description

Blend of lambic cultures produce beer with a complex, earthy profile and a distinctive pie cherry sourness. Aging up to 18 months is required for a full flavor profile and acidity to develop. 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 West Flanders. 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.

Recommended styles: Flanders Red Ale, Lambic, Gueuze, Fruit Lambic, Mixed-Fermentation Sour Beer, Wild Specialty Beer

Comes in the Wyeast Activator™ (smack pack pouch) that “proofs” the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort. Activator™packages include an internal packet which, when smacked, releases its contents into the yeast slurry and revitalizes the cells. The available sugars and nutrients initiate the culture’s metabolism which in turn generates CO₂ and causes swelling of the package, serving as a viability and vitality test as well. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
