It produces the classic “sweaty horse blanket” character of indigenous beers such as gueuze, lambics and sour browns and may form a pellicle in bottles or casks. The strain is generally used in conjunction with S. cerevisiae, as well as other wild yeast and lactic bacteria. At least 3-6 months aging is generally required for flavor to fully develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78-84%\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eFlocculation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eOptimum Fermentation Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-75°F\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eCell Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Billion\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tFlanders Red Ale\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tFruit Lambic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGueuze\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tStraight (Unblended) Lambic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eFor best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong class=\"editor-text-bold\"\u003ePlease Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold.
