Yeasts used so far


Wyeast 3763-PC Roeselare Ale Blend

Beer Styles: Lambics, Gueuze, Fruit Lambic, Flanders Red Ale

My Beers: Oud Bruin de Table, Flanders Red Ale, maybe XX Ale, which is a sloth of a fermentation right now.

Profile: Wyeast's blend of lambic cultures produces beer with a complex, earthy profile and a distinctive pie cherry sourness. Aging for up to 18 months is required for full flavor profile and acidity to develop. Will produce a very dry profile due to super-attenuative nature of the mixed cultures.

Alc. Tolerance 11% ABV
Flocculation variable
Attenuation 80%+
Temperature Range 65-85°F (18-30°C)



Wyeast 9097-PC Old Ale Blend
Beer Styles: English Barleywine, English Strong Ale, Old Ale

My Beers: XX Ale, which is a sloth of a fermentation right now.


Profile: To bring you a bit of English brewing heritage we developed the “Old Ale” blend, including an attenuative ale strain and a Brettanomyces strain, which will ferment well in dark worts and produce beers with nice fruitiness. Complex estery characters will emerge with age. Pie cherry and sourness will evolve from the Brettanomyces along with distinct horsey characteristics.

Alc. Tolerance 12%
Flocculation medium
Attenuation 75-80%
Temperature Range 68-75°F(20-24°C)
