Wyeast 5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus™
This is a wild yeast strain isolated from Belgian lambic beers. 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.
Notes
Mashed all grains together at 150 for 60 minutes. Added 2oz 88% lactic acid
