Wyeast 9097-PC Old Ale Blend
Wyeast 9097-PC Old Ale Blend
To bring you a bit of English brewing heritage we developed the “Old Ale” blend. It includes an attenuative ale strain along with a small amount of Brettanomyces. The blend will ferment well in dark worts, producing fruity beers with nice complexity. The Brettanomyces adds a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness during prolonged aging.

I got an og of about 1.068 so slightly lower than expected, but still not bad for an old ale. It's now still fermenting in secondary with a nice Brett pellicle forming. I'll probably let this go another month before bottling.

This came out really well. The Brett is very noticeable but in a good way. It seems to meld with all the other flavours and as one friend said, every mouthful reveals another flavour. The FG was pretty low on this, about 1.008 but although dry, it's mellow and smooth. It's about 8% but drinks as if far weaker. There's not a lot of distinct hop aroma or flavour but the Goldings were not the freshest, but I think that the hoppiness has melded with the Brett to provide a whole host of other flavours. This was a great success and I will be brewing this again for next winter.
