This blend contains two saison-style STA1+ Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates and two strains of Lactobacillus brevis. The Saccharomyces strains create a delightful ester profile of grapefruit and orange zest accompanied by a mild earthiness and spiciness, while the Lactobacillus strains produce a balanced acid profile. This blend exhibits high diastatic activity.

TYB282 is a single strain of Lactobacillus brevis isolated from an unintentionally soured golden ale produced by a Mexican craft brewery. This strain produces a nice, clean lactic acidity (down to ~pH 3.2) in unhopped wort within 36 hours at a temperature of ~72-77 °F. The higher the temperature up to 90 °F, the faster the acid production. While this strain can be used for kettle souring, it really shines in acidification during extended aging due to its hop tolerance (15-20 IBU).

The Lactobacillus Blend is comprised of one strain of Lactobacillus plantarum and two strains of Lactobacillus brevis. One of the strains of L. brevis was isolated from an unintentionally sour hoppy blonde ale from a Mexican craft brewery, and exhibits strong hop tolerance (15-20 IBU). Ideal for broad spectrum acidification, from kettle souring to extended aging. The higher the temperature up to 90 °F, the faster the acid production.

A blend of three strains of Brettanomyces bruxellensis that imparts a complex array of tropical and dark berry fruit esters. All three strains in this blend are quick to grow and develop character, highly versatile, and can be employed in primary fermentation, extended aging or bottle conditioning to quickly develop complexity in any mixed fermentation beer.

Oud Vat Brett is a single strain of Brettanomyces bruxellensis isolated from a spontaneously fermented beer aged in a specific large format wooden Vat, known for its complex Brettanomyces-derived character. This fast acting strain produces a mixed dark berry quality with earthy undertones and a thick krausen.

Mélange is made up of a rich diversity of fermentative organisms, intended for use in the production of sour beers where a perfect balance of esters, earthiness, funk and sourness is desired. This blend contains two Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates, Saccharomyces fermentati, five Brettanomyces isolates, two Lactobacillus brevis isolates and Pediococcus damnosus. This blend exhibits high diastatic activity.

This blend contains two saison-style Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates and two Brettanomyces bruxellensis cultures. This unique combination produces a beer that is bursting with classic saison esters and earthiness, with a rustic kick of Brettanomyces fruitiness and funkiness.

Amalgamation is the union of our six favorite Brettanomyces isolates from our library. Each isolate produces a unique bouquet of bright and fruity flavors and aromas. The resulting beer is dry with complex fruit-forward flavor and aroma of berries and citrus, accompanied by some funk on the palate.
