It produces a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness along with distinct “Brett” character. A pellicle may form in bottles or casks. To produce the classic Belgian character, this strain works best in conjunction with other yeast and lactic bacteria. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics.\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\tBerliner Weisse\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\u003cdiv\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.
