Aging up to 18 months is required for a full flavor profile and acidity to develop. Specific proportions of a Belgian style ale strain, a sherry strain, two Brettanomyces strains, a Lactobacillus culture, and a Pediococcus culture produce the desirable flavor components of these beers as they are brewed in West Flanders. Propagation of this culture is not recommended and will result in a change of the proportions of the individual components. This blend will produce a very dry beer due to the super-attenuative nature of the mixed cultures. Attenuation: 80% Flocculation: Low - High Alcohol Tolerance: 11% Optimum Fermentation Temp: 65-85°F Cell Count: 100 Billion Styles: Flanders Brown Ale/Oud Bruin Fruit Lambic Gueuze Straight (Unblended) Lambic For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast. Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. 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. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

3944 is a versatile witbier yeast strain can be used in a variety of Belgian style ales Produces a complex flavor profile dominated by spicy phenolics with low to moderate ester production Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation This versatile witbier yeast strain can be used in a variety of Belgian style ales. This strain produces a complex flavor profile dominated by spicy phenolics with low to moderate ester production. It is a great strain choice when you want a delicate clove profile not to be overshadowed by esters. It will ferment fairly dry with a slightly tart finish that compliments the use of oats, malted and unmalted wheat. This strain is a true top cropping yeast requiring full fermenter headspace of 33%. Attenuation: 72-76% Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 11-12% Optimum Fermentation Temp: 62-75°F Cell Count: 100 Billion Styles: Belgian Dubbel Belgian Tripel Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Witbier For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.   Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. 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.

This Wyeast blend is recommended for any wine requiring malic acid reduction It will cover a broad range of temperature and pH conditions 125mL is enough to innoculate 6 gallons of wine, cider, or mead Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available A liquid Malo-lactic culture that contains a blend of ER1A and Ey2d malo-lactic cultures suitable for a fermentation pH of 2.9 or above and temperatures as low as 55°F (13°C). Alcohol Tolerance: 12-18% Optimum Fermentation Temp: 55-95°F Notes from Wyeast: Fresh liquid cultures of L. oenos ER1A and EY2D provide rapid and complete malic acid to lactic acid reduction to balance and soften wines. ER1A and EY2D perform well in conditions of low pH and cool cellaring. Typical conditions of high wine acidity can be improved by reducing the harsh, sharp malic acid in the wine to the softer and smoother lactic acid. Other flavor improvements including vanilla and buttery notes can be anticipated. Natural occurring malic acid bacteria on fruit may be of inferior quality or quantity to complete malo-lactic fermentation. Vinter's Choice™ malolactic cultures are suitable of pH 2.9 or greater and cellar temperatures as low as 55°F. Test Results (At this time we do not know what strains of malo-lactic were involved in this test.): The performance of two strains of Leuconostoc oenos, Er1a and Ey2d, isolated from Oregon wines was evaluated in experimentally and commercially produced wines. Experimental lots of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir were inoculated at the end of yeast fermentation at 18°C with approximately 106 cfu/ml of Er1a, Ey2d, ML-34, PSU-1, MLT-kli, and BB44-40 Under low pH conditions, the Oregon strains completed MALOLACTIC fermentations (MLF) more rapidly than the other commercially available strains: at pH less than 3.3 Er1a completed MLF in an average of 48 days, Ey2d in 94 days, MLT-kli in 127 days, and the other strains in 143 days or longer. At pH greater than 3.4 all the strains completed MLF within 31 days. Commercial wines were inoculated during yeast fermentations with 0.5 to 2.0% V/V Er1a and Ey2d grape juice cultures (109 cfu/ml) and wine cultures (108 cfu/ml). Er1a completed MLF in 1-2 months at cellar temperatures of 15°C or higher, but was sensitive to cooler temperatures. Ey2d was more cold tolerant and completed MLF in 2-3 months at temperatures in 12-15°C In addition, Ey2d retained MALOLACTIC activity at temperatures as high as 80°C when all other strains including Er1a were inactive.
