From summer sours to winter warmers, we aim to capture the feel and flavor of each season in our unique Private Collection releases. These exclusive strains are either selected from our extensive archive or a little something experimental we’ve been working on, but they are always a limited release. Explore this season’s strains below.
Limited Release from October through December 2021.
Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae & Brettanomyces blend
Profile: To bring in 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.
Metric Temperature Range: 20-24 °C
Species: Saccharomyces pastorianus
Profile: The Budvar style strain has a nice malty nose with subtle fruit tones and a rich malt profile on the palate. It finishes malty but dry, well balanced, and crisp. Hop character comes through in the finish.
Metric Temperature Range: 9-13 °C
Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae blend
Profile: Formerly known as Wyeast Ale Blend 1540-PC, this is a blend of the best ale strains to provide quick starts, good flavor, and good flocculation. The profile of these strains provides a balanced finish for British and American style ales.
Metric Temperature Range: 18-22 °C
